pinnately 3- to 5-foliolat8, and silky pubescent when young. In exposed situations, 

 or in dry seasons, the plants may be leafless. The small lavender-pink flov/ers, in 

 lax racemes an inch long, cover the plants in early summer. It is native to New 

 Zealand, where it is highly prized. For trial on the Pacific coast and in the mildest 

 parts of the South. (Glenn Dale, Md.) 



125137. CARMICHAELIA GRANDIFLORA DIVARICATA. Frcm New Zealand. Obtained from Mrs.

 its right-angled branching, and in the slightly smaller flowers. For trial on the 

 Pacific Coast and in the mildest parts of the South. (Glenn Dale, M.) 



125217. CARMICHAELIA ODORATA. From New Zealand. Obtained from Mrs. R. T. Richards, 

 Canterbury. A much-branched shrub, 3 to 10 feet high, leafy in spring and early 

 summer, fully as attractive as C. grandi flor a, to which it is closely allied. The 

 slender erect racemes of purple, intensely fragrant flowers are borne on pendulous 

 branches in early summer. It is native to New Zealand. For trial on the Pacific 

 coast and in the mildest parts of the South. (Glenn Dale, Md.)
