Complete recovery, by the putting out of new leaves, takes place during the spring. 

 The general habits of the plant are similar to those of the preceding species and the 

 treatment required is the same. Plants will be furnished in lots of 10 or more. For 

 trial especially in the middle and upper south. (Savannah, Ga.) 



52673. SASA PUMILA. Presented by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, England. Original- 

 ly from Japan. One of the best and hardiest of the very dwarf, running bamboos. 

 Its greatest height is about 2 feet at Washington, D. C. The medium-green leaves 

 average about 34- inches long by half an inch wide, and the plant makes an exceedingly 

 attractive ground cover. It has endured minimum temperatures as low as 5 to 3 degrees 

 below zero F. , without serious injury to the foliage, though, like the preceding 

 species, the leaves are commonly killed sometime during the winter. Recovery is 

 complete by late spring. The habits of the plant are like those of Sasa auricoma 

 and the measures required for control are the same. Plants will be furnished only 

 in lots of 10 or more. For trial especially in the middle and upper south. (Savan- 

 nah , Ga . ) 



75166. SASA PUMILA. Same as preceding but presented by the Royal Botanic Gardens, 

 Kew, England. (Savannah, Ga.) 



52674. SASA VARIEGATA PYGMAEA. Presented by Vilmorin, Andrieux & Co., Paris, France. 

 The smallest of all known bamboos, growing only 6 to 10 inches high. It is of the 

 hardy, running type and is a native of Japan. The leaves, 1 to 2 inches long, are 



-* green above and whitish pubescent beneath; their cold resistance is probably about 

 the same as that of the other species of Sasa described. The habits of the plant 

 and methods of treatment required are also much the same. Plants furnished in lots 

 of 10 or more. For trial especially in the middle and upper south. (Savannah, Ga.)
