ENUMERATION OF THE SPECIES

fascinating as the present one is doubtful. In the matter of their origin Mr. Akashi 

 was careful to inform me that for purposes of policy he had not before set forth the 

 facts so clearly and that more or less distorted versions had appeared in print in 

 Japan. To test the story for ourselves Mr. Suzuki and I on leaving Kurume visited 

 and ascended Nishi-Kirishima and were convinced. 



In the garden of Mr. Akashi I selected and obtained a double set of the under- 

 mentioned fifty varieties of these Azaleas which I consider the best, and these 

 safely reached the Arnold Arboretum on April 24, 1919. The names are those 

 of the originator, Akashi, and therefore authentic. The plants will be propa- 

 gated and distributed under these names and, owing to the reprehensible habit of 

 changing names by Japanese nurserymen, will probably remain the only set with 

 standard names in existence.
