58901. ACER CAMPBELLII. Maple. From India. Presented by G. H. Cave, 
Curator, Lloyd Botanic Garden, Darjiling. The bright-green leaves and 
red stalks of this Himalayan maple make it worthy of trial as an ornamental shade tree for the southern half of the United States. (Bell, Md.)

58902. ACER HOOKERI. Maple. From India. Presented by G. H. Cave, 
Curator, Lloyd Botanic Garden, Darjiling. A handsome shade tree, 40 to 
50 feet high, native to the Himalayas at altitudes of about 10,000 feet. 
The bark is brown and deeply fissured, the leaves oval and not lobed as 
in more familiar species, - sometimes they are copper-colored as in some 
of the Japanese maples. The wood, which is gray with small pores and 
numerous fine medullary rays, is very handsome. Probably not hardy north 
of southern Ohio. (Bell, Md.)

58903. ACER LAEVIGATUM. Maple. From India. Presented by G. H. Cave, 
Curator, Lloyd Botanic Garden, Darjiling. Suggested as a park tree in 
mild-wintered regions of the United States. The bark is yellowish or 
dark ash-colored, and the oblong, nearly entire, leaves are a pleasing 
green. (Bell, Md.)

58817. ACER sp. Maple. From Yunnan, China. Collected by J. F. Rock, 
National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C. A tree 60 to 80 feet tall,

39434. AMPELOPSIS ACONITIFOLIA. From Pingyanfu, Shansi, China. Collected 
by Frank N. Meyer, Agricultuxal Explorer. This is a handsome vine related 
to the Virginia creeper, with yellow-green, cut-toothed leaves and yellow 
berries. It is valued as a porch and pergola vine on account of its rapid 
growth and comparative hardiness. Probably hardy as far north as southern 
Ohio. (Chico, Calif.)
