  and 
  long, 
  blue 
  berries 
  which 
  are

  in

  and 
  are 
  persistent.

  Turkestan. 
  "(No.

   A 
  spiny 
  Colutealike 
  shrub 
  found 
  on 
  sandy 
  and 
  alkaline 
  places 
  in 
  deserts 
  

   where 
  the 
  moisture 
  is 
  not 
  too 
  far 
  from 
  the 
  surface; 
  will 
  also 
  stand 
  some 
  shade. 
  

   Suitable 
  for 
  a 
  hedge 
  plant 
  in 
  regions 
  where 
  long, 
  hot, 
  and 
  dry 
  summers 
  prevail 
  

   and 
  where 
  the 
  winters 
  are 
  cold. 
  This 
  number 
  is 
  a 
  much 
  more 
  robust 
  form 
  than 
  

   the 
  one 
  sent

  in 
  

   semishady

  Has 
  tall, 
  slender 
  branches 
  which 
  are 
  slightly 
  drooping; 
  

   has 
  very 
  few

  to

  by 
  the 
  orange-red 
  fruits 
  left 
  on 
  the 
  branches, 
  

   must 
  be 
  very 
  floriferous. 
  Of 
  value, 
  possibly, 
  as 
  a 
  factor 
  in 
  breeding 
  experiments 
  

   to 
  create 
  hardier
