          34804. TAMARIX PENTANDRA. 
Tamarisk. From Novospaska,
Syzran-Riazan Ry., Russia, through
Frank N. Meyer. The fact that the
tamarisk can withstand unusual
amounts of alkali, is cold resistant
and branches near the ground, makes
it an excellent plant for windbreaks.
It can be easily propagated by cuttings. 
This species from Russia is
recommended for the Great Plains.

22867. TAMARIX SP. From
near Tai yuan fu, Shansi, China,
through Frank N. Meyer. Extremely
rapid growing tree or shrub, branching 
close to the ground, making excellent 
windbreaks and even hedges.
One of the most drought and alkali
resistant of all plants; cuttings put in
ground just after rain grow easily.
Recommended for south side of wind
belts on Great Plains.

36016. TERMINALIA EDULIS.
Columpit. From Mr. P. J. Wester,
Lamao, Bataan, P. I. Large, attractive
fruit tree, with well rounded, open
crown, affording half shade. Fruits
are edible, ripening in June and July,
larger than a cherry, of dark red color
and fleshy, with a sub-acid flavor.
