          34266. CORYLUS AVELLANA.
Hazelnut. From Dr. Gustav Eisen,
Boscotrecase, near Naples, Italy, ripening 
the latter part of June. Of very
good quality, though not as highly
flavored as the wild nut. Remarkably
well filled and solid. Cultivated
hazelnuts have proven very subject to
diseases in the Eastern United States,
but have done well on the Pacific
coast.

36727. CORYLUS SP. Hazelnut.
From Frank N. Meyer, Hsiao Wu tai
shan, China. A wild hazelnut occuring 
on the mountain sides at elevations
of 5,000 to 9,000 feet. The nuts grow
in clusters and are enclosed individually 
in long, beak-like involucres covered 
with spiny hairs. Of value as a
park shrub for the cooler sections of
the United States. May prove of interest 
to breeders of hazelnuts.

35689. CORYPHA ELATA.
Palm. From Manila, Philippine Islands, 
through O. W. Barrett. Large,
tropical, fan palm, related to the famous
Talipot palm of Ceylon. Grows 70
feet tall and then produces immense
bloom and dies. Leaves of very large
size used for fans, etc. A very decorative 
palm for regions like Panama,
Porto Rico, and, possibly the Isle of
Pines. Coryphas do poorly in Florida.
