THE GROVE OF JAPANESE BAMBOO AT THE SAVANNAH PLANT 
INTRODUCTION GARDEN. 
(Phyllostachys sp.; S. P. I. No. 40851.) 
This grove, which through the generosity of Barbour Lathrop, 
of Chicago, has come into the possession of the United States 
Department of Agriculture and which now covers over an 
acre of land and has poles in it over 55 feet high, originated 
from a few plants imported by Andres E. Moynelo "early in 
the eighties." It is spreading rapidly and stands as an 
example of the superbly beautiful groves of this timber 
bamboo which will some day change the landscapes of our 
Southern States and furnish a unique timber material suited 
for a host of purposes on the farms where it will be grown.
