          39593. ROSA GIGANTEA,
From E. D. Sturtevant, Hollywood,
Cal. A rampant climber with usually
unarmed flowering branches and 
solitary white to lemon yellow, single
flowers, 5 to 6 inches across. Leaflets
usually five, nearly oval, smooth, and
firm. Fortune's "Double Yellow" said
possibly to have arisen from crosses
with this rose or to be a variety of it.
Quite tender except in the South. Too
large for greenhouses.

40194. RUBUS GIRALDIANUS.
From the Royal Botanical Gardens,
Kew, England. A vigorous deciduous
shrub, 8 feet high, native of China.
The flowers are inconspicuous, but the
striking white stems and the pendulous 
branches, giving a fountain-like
aspect to the shrub, make it a handsome 
ornamental.

22987. SAGERETIA THEEZANS. 
From F. N. Meyer, Soochow,
Kiangsu, China. Shrub, almost evergreen, 
with small nearly oblong leaves
less than an inch long, bearing numerous 
short panicles (1-2 to 1 inch long)
of very small white flowers and small
sweet edible fruits. Leaves are 
reported as used like tea. Grown rarely
as dwarfed tree in pots. Chinese name
Chuck mei tsang. Belongs to Rhamnaceae 
or Buckthorn family.
