34804. TAMARIX PENTAN- 

 DRA. Tamarisk. From TSovospaska, 

 Syzran-Riazan Ry., Russia, through 

 Frank N. Meyer. The fact that the 

 tamarisk can withstand unusual 

 amounts of alkali, is cold resistant 

 and branches near the ground, makes 

 It an excellent plant for windbreaks. 

 It can be easily propagated bv cut- 

 tings. This species from Russia is 

 recommended for the Great Plains. 



22867. TAMARIX SP. From 

 near Tai yuan fu, Shansi, China, 

 through Frank N. Meyer. Extremely 

 rapid growing tree or shrub, branch- 

 ing close to the ground, making ex- 

 cellent windbreaks and even Pledges. 

 One of the most drought and alkali 

 resistant of all plants; cuttings put in 

 ground just after rain grow easily. 

 Recommended for south side of wind- 

 belts on Great Plains.
