55713. PHYLLOSTACHYS NEVINII. Stake-and-forage Bamboo. From China. A hardy, 
rather dwarf bamboo of the running type, which spreads rapidly by means of rhizomes, 
or underground stems, and forms an extensive thicket of vertical culms. In sandy 
soil the rhizomes travel at depths down to 2 or 3 feet. The plant ultimately sends 
up culms, or canes, to a height of about 18 feet, but culms of maximum height are 
not produced until 4 or 5 years after the setting out of small plants. Culms 3 or 
more years old are useful for plant stakes, small fish poles and other purposes -on 
the farm, Not.ess than 25 plants (total shipping weight about 25 lbs.) will be 
sent to an experimenter. These are for planting in one area, about 50 feet square, 
to start a small grove. The first season, however, the plants should be grown in a 
nursery row in well-fertilized soil and be freely watered in dry weather. In the 
late winter or early spring of the second year they should be transplanted with a 
ball of earth to the permanent situation, on good well-drained land, spaced 10 feet 
each way. (Chico, Calif., and Savannah, Georgia.)
