where it becomes one of the tallest of all trees. Can also be 

 clipped into pyramids to serve in formal gardens and along 

 walks. May be expected to thrive especially in the cool and 

 moist sections of the United States." (Meyer's introduction.)

LARIX SP. (Pinaceae.) 33319. Seeds of a larch from 

 Estate Mitino, Torchok, Twer government, Russia. "A larch, 

 occurring in Manchuria, eastern Siberia, northern Korea, etc., 

 forming here and there large forests. Its lumber is also of 

 excellent quality, though apparently not ranked as high as that 

 of Larix sibirica. It is also a fine ornamental tree, not 

 growing as tall as L. sibirica, but better able to withstand 

 drought and heat. Can also be clipped and pruned for use in 

 formal gardens and seems naturally to branch out nearer the 

 ground, than L, sibirica. Received from Mr. D. D. Romanoff, on 

 whose estate it grew." (Meyer's introduction.) For distri- 

 bution later. 



LATHYRUS SP. [Fabaceae.) 33290. Seeds of a Lathyrus 

 from St. Petersburg Botanic Garden. "A rare, perennial Lathy- 

 rus, which occurs here and there on mountain slopes in southern 

 Bokhara, having large reddish-pink flowers, which are quite 

 fragrant. Of value as a factor in hybridization experiments in 

 trying to create perennial sweet peas, and as a possible forage 

 plant for dry, hot regions." (Meyer's introduction.) For 

 distribution later. 



LILIUM DAHURICUM. (Liliaceae.) 33310. Seeds of a lily

the hardy border." (Meyer's introduction.) For distribution 



later. 



ONOBRYCKIS SPP. (Fabaceae.) 33291-294. Seeds from St.
