57296. Hordeum vulgare pallidum Seringe. 

 Poacese. Barley. 



Introduced for department cerealists. 



57297. Iris setosa Pall. Iridaceae. Iris. 



This was originally described as an Asiatic 

 plant, but forms that can not be separated 

 from it are found in North America. At 

 least half a dozen forms come true to seed. 

 The peculiarity of this iris is that the stand- 

 ards have dwindled until they are only small 

 points about a half inch long, but their dis- 

 appearance is usually counterbalanced by 

 the increased size of the falls. The color is 

 usually blue, but some shades are so light as 

 to be almost gray. (Adapted from W. 

 Eickatson Dykes, Irises, p. 64.) 



JUNTPERUS RIGIDA 



Pinaceae. 



Sieb. and Zucc. 

 Juniper. 



A Japanese juniper which is a tree about 20 

 feet in height and of elegant habit with the 

 branches pendulous at the ends. The needle- 

 like leaves are triangular in section and very 

 slender. The tree thrives very well in south- 

 ern England. (Adapted from Bean, Trees and 

 Shrubs Hardy in the British Isles, vol. 1, p. 569.) 



57299. Lespedeza bicolor Turcz. Fabaceae. 



Introduced for department forage-crop spe- 

 cialists. 



A bushy, herbaceous Japanese perennial 

 which flowers in early autumn, bearing a pro- 

 fusion of rosy purple flowers which practically 

 cover its drooping branches. These branches 

 sometimes become 6 feet in length. (Adapted 

 from Florists' Exchange, vol. 49, p. 985.) 



57300. Lonicera maackji (Rupr.) Herd. 

 Caprifoliaceae. Honeysuckle. 



A bush honeysuckle, native to northeastern 

 China, becoming about 10 feet in height with 

 widely spreading branches and dark-green 

 leaves which are downy on both surfaces. 

 The pure-white flowers, an inch in diameter, 

 are produced in pairs on the upper side of the 

 branchlets. The fruits are red. (Adapted 

 from note under S. P. I. No. 5S712.) 



57801. Maagkia amurensis Rupr. Fabaceae.

 fourth of an inch in diameter. This species is 

 native to northeastern China and Siberia and 

 is of value for rough shrubberies. (Adapted
