they are very effective. The plant is readily propagated by cuttings or divisions. 

 For trial throughout the country. (Glenn Dale, Md.) 



126314. JUNIPERUS EXCELSA . (Pinaceae.) From Afghanistan. Collected by Walter 

 Koelz, Bureau of Plant Industry, at an altitude of about 8,000 feet, near Khudikhal. 

 A large tree, occasionally reaching a height of 60 feet, with a narrow-pyramidal head. 

 The leaves are bluish green and nearly always scalelike, closely appressed to the 

 slender branchlets. (Supply limited.) For trial in all but the hottest and coldest 

 States. (Glenn Dale, Md.) 



90104. KNIPHOFIA. VAR. SIR C. K. BUTLER. (Liliaceae.) From England. Obtained 

 from Maurice Prichard & Sons, Ltd., Christchurch, Hants. The flowers, on stems about 

 3 feet tall, are produced throughout the summer. If the plants are stored over winter, 

 this is one of the first varieties to flower. The buds are orange-scarlet, changing 

 rapidly to sulfur-yellow flowers. For trial in all but the colder states, with 

 protection or storage where the winters are severe. (Glenn Dale, Md.) 



104977. KNIPHOFIA. VAR. PREZI0SA . From England. Obtained from Maurice Prichard 

 and Sens, Ltd., Christchurch, Hants. One of the taller varieties, reaching a height 

 of about 4 to 5 feet at its best. The flowers are scarlet with a rosy sheen, aging 

 to soft yellow. For trial in all but the colder States, with protection or storage 

 where winters are severe. (Glenn Dale, Md . ) 



111060. LEEA ASPERA. (Vitaceae.) From India. Presented by the Lloyd Botanic 

 Garden, Darjeeling, at the request of the Director of the Botanical Survey of India, 

 Calcutta. A shrubby perennial up to 4 feet high, with handsome pinnate foliage, and 

 juicy black fruits the size of large currants, which are said to be eaten by the 

 natives of India. Native to the Himalayas up to 6,000 feet altitude. For trial in 

 the milder parts of California and in the Gulf region. (Chico, Calif.) 



138686. LIGUSTRUM CILIATUM. (Oleaceae.) Privet. From Japan. Collected by P. H. 

 Dorsett and W. J. Morse, in the Mowiayama Mountains, near Sapporo, Hokkaido. A low 

 vigorous shrub with arching, sometimes almost horizontal, branches. The leaves are 

 similar in size and shape to those of L. ovalifolium, but they do not possess the 

 luster of that species. The plants are particularly showy in bloom, with the many 

 dense racemes of white flowers. In the fall they are showy with numerous black 

 fruits (large for the genus) that remain well into winter. (Glenn Dale, Md.) 



116874. L0NICERA MACRANTHA. (Caprifoliaceae . ) From China. Collected in Hunan 

 Province by C. S. Fan and Y. Y. Li and presented by the Arnold Arboretum and the 

 University of Nanking. A vigorous twining honeysuckle, from subtropical parts of the 

 Himalayas, with large hirsute persistent leaves and rather large white flowers 1£ to 

 2 inches long which fade to yellow. For trial from Washington southward. (Glenn 

 Dale, Md. ) 



136084. L0NICERA SP . From Afghanistan. Collected at Lorinj , at 8,000 feet altitude, 

 by Walter Koelz, Bureau of Plant Industry. A shrub to 6 feet high with small ovate 

 blue-green leaves. It seems most likely to be a small-leaved form of Lonicera tat - 

 arica. It bears great quantities of small orange-red berries in August. For trial 

 throughout the United States. (Glenn Dale, Md.)
