73S62. SASA AUP.EO-STRIATA . (Poaceae.) From Japan. Obtained from the Yokohama

 to Japan. The lanceolate or narrow-lanceolate leaves, 1^ to 5 inches long, are 

 usually yellowish striped in spring and early summer but mostly become plain green 

 later. This handsome little species makes an exceedingly attractive ground cover in 

 protected situations in regions where the minimum winter temperature is not much 

 lower than 0° F. The leaves are often killed at temperatures several degrees higher 

 but recovery of the plants in the spring is fairly rapid. Because of the vigor of 

 the underground parts of the plant it may become weedy if the rhizomes are not pre- 

 vented from spreading by a barrier of some sort. Plants furnished in lots of 3 to 

 10. For trial in the middle and upper South and on the Pacific coast. ( Savannah, Ga. )
