JULY, 1906, TO DECEMBER, 1907. 31 



19469 to 19480— Continued. 



19475. Salix sp. Willow. 



From near Sedansk. "(No. 546, Oct. 7, 1906.) A broad-leaved willow, 

 growing mostly as a shrub, but seen here and there as a small tree; is 

 found in very dry situations and usually between other shrubbery." 

 {Meyer.) 



19476. ACANTHOPANAX SESSILIFLOBUM. 



From near Sedansk. "(Nob. 547, 548, 549, and 550, Oct. 7, 1906.) An 

 ornamental, hardy shrub, having palmately divided leaves and bearing 

 on its somewhat spiny branches many short, dense umbels of brownish 

 colored flowers, followed by blackish berries. Throws out many shoots 

 from the roots, which do not fall in all directions, as many of our gar- 

 den shrubs do." (Meyer.) 



19477. Vitis AMURENSis. Grape. 



From near Sedansk. "(Nos. 551 and 552.) Wild grapes, bearing 

 small bunches of edible berries, found in dry and exposed places between 

 shrubbery. They will probably prove to be a good stock in regions where 

 climatic conditions are not favorable for grape culture." {Meyer.) 



19478. Fraxinus sp. Ash. 



From Okyansky. "(Nos. 553 and 554, Oct. 9, 1906.) A large-leaved 

 ash, of use as an ornamental tree in parks and large gardens." (Meyer.) 



19479. ACTINIDIA KOLOMIKTA (?). 



From the mountains near Okyansky. "(Nos. 555 and 556, Oct. 8. 

 1906.) A tall, climbing actinidia, producing silver-tinted leaves among 

 its masses of foliage." (Meyer.) 



19480. Junctts sp. Rush. 



From near Vladivostok. "(Nos. 557 and 558, Oct. 6, 1906.) A rush 

 growing on rather dry ground. Seems to be a very good one for matting 

 manufacture. If so, could probably be grown in ordinary fields for this 

 purpose and would, as such, do away with all the difficulties connected 

 with the culture of wet-land rushes." (Meyer.) 



19482. Triticum vulgare. Wheat. 



From Histon, Cambridge, England. Presented by Prof. R. H. Biffen, of the 

 Cambridge University Agricultural Experiment Station, through Prof.

19484. Celtis rhamnifolia. Cambedoo stinkwood. 



From Cape Town, South Africa. Presented by Mr. E. Hutchins, Con- 

 servator of Forests at Cape Town, through Prof. A. V. Stubenrauch, 

 Berkeley, Cal. Received at the Plant Introduction Garden, Chico, Cal.,

 rector of the Agricultural College. Received November 20, 1906. 



19486. Cannabis sativa. Hemp. 

 From Lexington, Ky. Received through Prof. H. Garman, of the Agricul- 

 tural Experiment Station, November 30, 1906. 



This seed is the first generation from Manchurian hemp seed produced in the 

 district of Shinmintong, some 200 miles southwest of Kirin Province, and was 

 grown from S. P. I. No. 18632 at the Agricultural Experiment Station, Lexing- 

 ton, Ky., during the season of 1906. The original seed from which this seed 

 was grown was received May 29, 1906, from the Yokohama Nursery Company, 

 Yokohama, Japan.
