          37004. FORSYTHIA SUSPENSA. 
Golden Bell. From Pekin,
China, collected by F. N. Meyer. This
variety is said to have flowers larger
than the kind commonly grown. It is
very resistant to drought and able to
stand a fair amount of alkali in the
soil. Should prove of especial value as
an ornamental in the drier sections
of the United States.

Golden Bell. Collected in
the province of Shansi, China, by F. N.
Meyer. This variety was found growing 
in dry rocky places, at an altitude
over 5000 feet. Should prove well
adapted to the drier regions of the
United States.
