22486. CORYLUS AVELLANA. Filbert, Barcelona. From 

 Mrs. Felix Gillet, Nevada City, Cal. Tree of upright medium 

 growth. Good producer. Blooms about the first week in January in 

 Oregon. The husk is short hispid; the nut large, ovate, slightly 

 compressed; shell moderately thick and rather hard but well filled 

 by the kernel, which is of very good quality. 



33234. CORYLUS AVELLANA. Filbert, Rouge Ronde. From 

 Pedro Giraud, Granada, Spain. A red-kerneled variety not well 

 known, but seemingly very similar to the Barcelona and Avelhne 

 varieties. 



35689. CORYPHA ELATA. Palm. From Manila, P. L, through 

 O. W. Barrett. Large tropical fan palm related to the famous 

 Talipot palm of Ceylon. Grows 70 feet tall, and then produces im- 

 mense bloom and dies. Leaves of very large size, used for fans, etc. 

 A very decorative palm for regions like Panama, Porto Rico, and 

 possibly the Isle of Pines. Coryphas do poorly in Florida. 



COTONEASTER spp. Ornamental shrubs used extensively in 

 small gardens, for training against walls and over rocks, and for plant- 

 ings near stone steps, etc., because of their attractive foliage, white 

 flowers, picturesque form, and especially because of the masses of 

 red, yellow, brown, or black fruits which they bear. 



CRATAEGUS PINNATIFIDA. Large-fruited Chinese haw- 

 thorn. From F. N. Meyer. Dense low-branching, well-rounded 

 tree of 20-foot spread; ornamental in spring and fall. Cultivated in 

 orchards by the Chinese, who make delicious jelly similar to crab- 

 apple jelly from the bright scarlet fruits. Probably very hardy. 

 Deserves trial along with native large-fruited American species. On 

 C. arnoldiana. (PL IV.) 



3701 1 . CROTALARIA MESOPONTICA. From A. Stolz, Kyim- 

 bila, German East Africa. A dense, bushy legume, which grows 

 very quickly and forms a cushion 2 to 3 feet in diameter. The pen- 

 dulous racemes of bright yellow flowers, striped with brown are 3 to 

 4 inches long. Should do well in Florida. 



36969. CROTALARIA sp. From Bahia, Brazil, collected by 

 Dorsett, Shamel, and Popenoe. A leguminous, shrubby plant with 

 succulent stems; found self-sown in the orange orchards of Brazil. 

 Said to be particularly suited to dry, semiarid lands. Try as cover 

 crop in California. Root development extensive, nodules abundant; 

 would decompose rapidly if plowed under at the right time.
