38912. PHYLLOSTACHYS SULFUREA . Presented by Dr. V. A, Argollo Ferrao, Centro 

 Agricola, Bahia, Brazil. A hardy, rather dwarf bamboo of vigorous, running habit, 

 with pale green to yellowish culms up to 12 or more feet high. Probably a native of 

 China. The branches are usually in pairs and the leaves, mostly borne in threes, 

 average 2 to 3 inches long. The degree of hardiness of the species is uncertain but 

 it will probably endure a temperature of 10° F. or lower, without injury. The culms 

 are useful for plant stakes, etc. The habits and methods of culture and control are 

 much the same as for the bamboos previously described. For permanent planting the 

 plants should be spaced 8 feet apart. Not less than 15 plants will be sent to an 

 experimenter. For trial in California and in all except the 7/armest parts of the 

 southern states. (Savannah, Ga.) 



23234. PHYLLOSTACHYS sp . From China. A hardy bamboo of the running type up to 15 

 feet high, similar to Phyllostschys nevinii in general appearance, but slightly 

 hardier. The more easily observed vegetative differences between the two are found 

 in the somewhat later starting of the new culms of the present species in the spring, 

 the unstriped culm sheaths, the denser foliage and the entire greenness of the culms 

 and branches during the first year. Not less than 25 plants (shipping weight 25 to 

 35 lbs.) will be sent to an experimenter. The spaoing of the plants in transplanting 

 should be about 10 feet. For information regarding general habits of growth, methods 

 of culture and control, and uses, see data under Phyllostachys bambusoides castilloni 

 and P. ne vini i . For trial in California and all except the warmest parts of the 

 southern states. (Chico, Calif., and Savannah, Ga.) 



83811 PHYSOCAP.PUS AMURENSIS. Rosaceae. Ninebark. From Japan. Collected by P. H, 

 Dorsett and W. J. Morse, agricultural explorers, Bureau of Plant Industry. A shrub

 doubly serrate, 3 to 5-lobed leaves are larger, as are also the loose umbels of white 

 flowers. It is native to Manchuria and Chosen. For trial in the northern states.

 Bureau of Plant Industry. A handsome Japanese evergreen tree up to 120 feet high, 

 with lustrous brown or violet cones. Collected in the University Forest, near Toi- 

 kanbetsu. and sent by Wasaku Ishio. For trial throughout the northern states. (Bell 

 Md.) 



78375. PILEOSTEGIA VI3URN0IDES. Hydrangeaceae . Obtained from G. Reuthe, Foxhill 

 Hardy Plant Farm, Keston, Kent, England. A little-known, Chinese, evergreen climber 

 with thick, lanceolate, elliptic, opposite, dark-green leaves about 4 or 5 inches 

 long, and dense umbels of white flowers which resemble those of Viburnum t inu s. For 

 trial in the South and on the Pacific Coast. (Bell, Md.) 



78405. PINUS TABULAEFORMIS . Pine. Obtained from the Forestry Experiment Station, 

 Keijo, Chosen. A Chinese pine up to 75 feet high, v/ith dark gray bark on the trunk, 

 red on the branches, and orange or grayish yellow branchlets. The glaucescent leaves, 

 usually two in a cluster, are stout and 3 to 6 inches long, and the ovoid cones, 

 2 to 4 inches long, are pale tawny yellow changing to dark brown and persisting for 

 several years. For trial in the northern states. (Bell, Md.)
