ARNOLD ARBORETUM HYBRIDS. 



Except with roses, no attempt has 

 been made at the Arboretum to pro 

 (Iiico hybrid trees or shrubs. Several 

 hybrids, however, have appeared here 

 from time to time, and the following, 

 of which descriptions have been pub- 

 lished, or will be published, are now 

 well established here. Such hybrids 

 are always interesting, and amon;; 

 those which have appeared in the Ar- 

 boretum are a few which are more 

 valuable than their parents, and in two 

 instances at'least the handsomest gar- 

 den plants in the genera to which their 

 parents belong. The Arboretum hy- 

 brids are Pterocarya Rehderiana, Sor- 

 bus arnoldiana. Forsythia intermedia 

 primulina, Malus arnoldiana. Mahis 

 rubriflora, Malus Dawsoniana, Prunus 

 arnoldiana, Pyrus congesta, Cornus 

 arnoldiana, Betula Jackii, Viburnum 

 Jackii, Berberis notabilis. lyonicera 

 amoena arnoldiana. and Aesculus Har- 

 bisonii. 



Another Barberry, Berberis ottawen- 

 sis. believed to be a hybrid of Berberis 

 Thunbergii and B. vulgaris, which was 

 first described from a plant in the Ar- 

 boretum connected with the Dominion 

 Elxiierimental Faini at Ottawa, has ap- 

 peared several times among seedlings 

 in this Arboretum where it has proved 

 to be a handsome and distinct plant. 

 There is a large specimen of this hy- 

 brid on the right-hand side of the en- 

 trance to Azalea Path from the Busssy 

 Hill Road. The most valuable of the 

 Arboretum hybrids for general culti- 

 vation in this part of the world are 

 Pterocarya Rehderiana, Malus arnol- 

 diana and Sorbus arnoldiana. The 

 Pterocarya, which is evidently a hy- 

 brid of the Caucasian P. fraxinifolia 

 and the Chinese P. stenoptera, is 

 much hardier than its parents and has 

 grown more rapidly in the Arboretum 

 than any of the species of this inter- 

 esting genus of the Walnut Family. 

 Several of these hybrid plants ap- 

 Iieared here in 1879 from seeds sent 

 from the Arboretum Segrezianum in 

 France as seeds of P. stenoptera. so 

 that although the plants were raised 

 here the crossing of the two species 

 occurred in France. The grove of 

 these trees which shades a stretch of 

 Hickory path near Centre street is 

 one of the most interesting and attrac- 

 tive groups in the Arboretum. The 

 trees send up many suckers from the 

 roots and tor several years have flow- 

 ered freely and produced fruit. 



Sorbus arnoldiana. which appeared 

 here in 1907 among seedlings of Chi- 

 nese Sorbus discolor, is a fast growing, 

 vigorous tree already nearly twenty 

 feet tall, with smooth, lustrous, yellow- 

 gray bark, erect branches forming a
