Australian Crotalaria (No. 41571), which Mr. James Pink, 

 who sends it in, predicts will be highly successful 

 in borders in dry situations. 



The Pondoland cocos (Jubaeopsis caffra, No. 41484) 

 will have a botanical interest to all palm lovers as 

 the only member of the tribe to which the coconut be- 

 longs, which occurs in Africa,- all the others being 

 inhabitants of the Western Hemisphere.

OBITUARY. 

 Stephen Conrad Stuntz. 



It is with the deepest regret that we announce 

 the death from pneumonia, on the third of February, 

 1918, of Mr. Stephen Conrad Stuntz, who has had charge 

 of all the publications of this office for the last 

 eight years. Mr. Stuntz devoted much time and energy 

 to the building up of Plant Immigrants and its or- 

 iginality and many of its characteristics will remain 

 as a concrete evidence of his industry, intelligence, 

 and botanical ability. 



Remember that & fifty dollar Liberty Bond will supply a bandage 

 long enough to go from the Capitol to the White House and 

 back again (nearly two miles) or it will bandage 555 hands.
