          34355. SAGEURUS MINDORENSIS. 
From E. D. Merrill, Mindoro,
Philippine Islands. A palm from 5 to
10 feet in height; grows in thickets
and on open grassy slopes. It should
prove of decided value as an ornamental
in greenhouses. It is probable
that it will grow out of doors in southern 
California arid southern Florida,
certainly in the West Indies and
Central America.

26762. SALIX BABYLONICA.
Willow. From Mr. Frank N. Meyer,
estate of Maximoff, Crimea, Russia.
A willow with golden yellow twigs
which are very pliable. The tree is
used for hedges and windbreaks. Fit
for the drier parts of the United States
where the winters are mild.

17737. SALIX SP. Willow. From
F. N. Meyer, Scha-ho-schonn, China,
Remarkable ornamental willow forming 
naturally dense, flat-globular
heads, but of upright growth when
planted in hedges. The branches are
long, slender and tinged with red
towards the tips.
