56028. ILEX PURPUREA OLDHAMII. (Aquifoliaceae . ) From Nanking China. Presented by 

 M. L. Hancock, University of Nanking. A small much-branched tree v/ith an abundance 

 of glossy spineless evergreen leaves 3 to 4 inches long. The small purple flowers

 give acre color than those of most species. A 9-year-old tree at Chico, California, 

 is 16 feet high, with equal spread. It has withstood a maximum temperature of 113° 

 F. , in full sun, and a minimum of 12° F,, with no injury. Propagation is by strat- 

 ified seed or by cuttings with the use of growth hormones. For trial on the Pacific
