34779. POPULUS SR. Chinese 

 Poplar. From Angers, France, through 

 Charles Detriche. Coming from South 

 China where the climate is warm and 

 moist, this species may prove tender 

 north of Georgia, although being de- 

 ciduous, it deserves a wide trial to 

 determine its range. It may prove 

 adapted to cultivation south of the 

 range of poplars in Florida.

Hsuan Tsao. From China, Seventy- 

 foot deciduous fruit tree (classified 

 with Spondias) bearing yellow fruits 

 larger than damsons, having acid

 36164, seedlings from tree at Berck- 

 mans' Nursery, Augusta, Ga., intro- 

 duced by E. H. Wilson from Western

35493. PREMNAODORATA. 



From C. F. Baker, Los Bancs, Phil- 

 ippine Islands. The leaves of this 

 tropical verbenaceous tree are rich in 

 an unknown essential oil, which pos- 

 sesses marked insecticidal powers, 

 and sometimes they are dried and 

 powdered by the natives for use on 

 poultry and other animals as a lice 

 exterminator.
