 "This beautiful rose was introduced into the Arboretum 

 from Korea several years ago by Mr. Jack, and when 

 it flowered was named for him. At about the same time 

 it was named in England R. bakeri and R, kelleri, names which 

 cannot be used for it, however, as they had previously 

 been given to other roses. It is one of the Multiflorae 

 roses with long stems which lie flat on the ground, 

 lustrous foliage, and pure white flowers two inches 

 or more in diameter, in wide, many-flowered clusters. 

 The flowers are larger than those of the Japanese 

 R. mult i flora and it blooms much later than that species. 

 This rose is perfectly hardy and a first-rate garden 

 plant. The hybridizer ought to be able to find it in 

 a good subject from which to raise a race of hardy, 

 late-flowering Rambler roses. (Arnold Arboretum, Bul- 

 letin of Popular Information, new series, Vol. 1, p. 

 43, 1915.) 42981. R. multi flora cathayensis Rehder & Wil- 

 son. "It is a hardy, vigorous, and handsome plant 

 with the habit of the Japanese R. multiflora . The flowers 

 are from two to two and a half inches in diameter and 

 are produced in large, many-flowered clusters, and 

 the large, conspicuous, bright yellow anthers add to 

 the beauty of the clear pink petals. This rose may 

 well become a popular garden plant. It offers pos- 

 sibilities which the hybridist will undoubtedly take 

 advantage of; and It is of considerable historical in- 

 terest as the wild original of garden plants cultivated 

 probably for centuries by the Chinese and known in 

 Europe and America for more than a hundred years."

 Koehne. A rose from western Szechuan, with deep rose 

 colored flowers, growing to a height of 5 meters, 

 at altitudes of 2,300 to 3,600 meters. The shoots are 

 thickly covered with short, stout, flattened prickles.

Rymandra excelsa Salisbury. (Proteaceae . ) 42850. 

 Seeds from Avondale, Auckland, New Zealand. Presented 

 by Mr. H. R. Wright. "New Zealand honeysuckle tree, 

 the wood of which is used for veneering purposes, in 

 making furniture. Very pretty in the grain. Its 

 flowers are pretty and at the same time odd, coming 

 out of the side of the branches, instead of out of 

 the terminals as in most cases. A pretty tree and a 

 useful timber for furniture." (Wright.)
