From Miami, Fla. Received through Dr. E. A. Bessey, Subtropical Labora- 

 tory. April 25, 1907. 



"A most excellent thing and destined to be a great favorite among lovers of 

 morning-glories. It grows wild in the hammocks around Miami. In its native 

 state it makes poor growth; but a vine in culture in the garden at Miami for 

 two years has made immense growth and is covered nearly all the year with 

 brilliant carmine-colored blooms, it seeds exceedingly sparsely. The plant is 

 tuberous, and it is believed that if the roots were covered during the winter it 

 would grow at least as far north as North Carolina." {Wester.)

From Manila, P. I. Presented by Mr. W. S. Lyon, horticulturist, Bureau 

 of Agriculture, through Mr. O. W. Barrett, April 26, 1907. 



" Mr. Creelman, the war correspondent, called on the Assistant Secretary of 

 Agriculture and stated that it was his belief that the Hang ilang might be 

 grown in southern Florida and its remarkably fragrant blossoms shipped to our 

 northern markets and sold — much as the Cape jasmine is now imported from 

 the south and handled by the florists of our big cities. It is Mr. Creelman's 

 belief that a small industry could be started with this flower and that its re- 

 markable fragrance would attract the immediate attention of flower lovers."
