hardy here, and beautiful, but, so far, rather shrubby. 

 Sophora davidii (S. P. I. No. 21967) is interesting as 

 material for hedges and bee pasture. The ends of some 

 of the fine twigs die back over winter, for a few 

 inches, somewhat like some standard nursery varieties 

 of Russian mulberries; but it goes ahead every spring. 

 The following are hardy here and doing well: Populus 

 simonii, 22363; Juglans regia, 44200; Diospyros lotus, 27512; 

 Lonieera sp., 39697 ; Buddleia davidii, 43677 ; Elaeagnus angustifolia , 

 28806; Cotoneaster rotundifolia , 32937, and C. integerrima, 

 33156, are hardy, and the leaves persist over winter." 



The following introduction was received from the 

 Arnold Arboretum, Jamaica Plain, Mass., November 16, 1917 : 



Pyrus ealleryana (S. P. I. No. 45687) is a widely 

 distributed species and according to Wilson is common 

 in western Hupeh from river level up to 1,500 meters 

 (4,900 ft.) altitude. It has comparatively small, gla- 

 brous, crenate leaves, and small flowers with 2, rarely 

 3, styles. The fruit is about 1 to 1.4 centimeters (2/5 

 to 1/2 in.) in diameter. (Adapted from Plantae Wilson- 

 ianae, vol. 2, part 2, p. 264. )
