GROWING BAMBOO IN CHICO. 



Early in the present year, W. W. 

 Tracy, superintendent of the National 

 Plant Introduction Garden, at Chico, 

 Cal., received at San Francisco a ship- 

 ment of 140 tons of bamboo clumps. This 

 consignment was selected with great care, 

 in various parts of Japan and China, by 

 William Hill, of the Department of Agri- 

 culture, and represented about thirty of the 

 most valuable sorts. A great many of the 

 ornamental varieties were purchased from 

 the Yokohama Nursery Co., of Yoko- 

 hama, Japan, while some of the largest 

 cane producers were procured in sections 

 of the country where such particular 

 kinds flourished. 



Ten freight cars were required to 

 transport these bulky clumps from San 

 Francisco to Chico, and it is the inten- 

 tion of the government to spare no effort 

 to acclimatize and encourage the plant- 

 ing of this most valuable timber plant. 

 Some of the sections of the stems, when 

 cut across at each joint, can be used for 

 a bucket and hold from two to three 

 gallons. Other kinds are recommended 

 for the making of furniture, garden 

 fences and shading mats, 



Tho^e in charge of the government 

 grounds are satisfied that at Chico the 

 climatic conditions are perfect for the 

 bamboo, and quite a tract of ground will 

 be devoted to its planting and propagat- 

 ing. Efforts have been made to secure 

 increased appropriations for the plant 

 garden, sufficient to enable the manage- 

 ment to make many much needed im- 

 provements. C!.
