"This beautiful rose was Introduced into the Arboretum 
from Korea several years ago by Mr. Jack, and when 
It flowered was named for him. At about the same time 
it was named in England R. bakeri and R, kelleri, names which 
cannot be used for it, however, as they had previously 
been given to other roses. It is one of the Multiflorae 
roses with long stems which lie flat on the ground, 
lustrous foliage, and pure white flowers two inches 
or more in diameter, in wide, many-flowered clusters. 
The flowers are larger than those of the Japanese 
R. multiflora and it blooms much later than that species. 
This rose Is perfectly hardy and a first-rate garden 
plant. The hybridizer ought to be able to find it in 
a good subject from which to raise a race of hardy, 
late-flowering Rambler roses. (Arnold Arboretum, Bul- 
letin of Popular Information, new series, Vol. 1, p. 
43, 1915.) 42981. R. multiflora eathayensis Rehder & Wil- 
son. "It is a hardy, vigorous, and handsome plant 
with the habit of the Japanese R. multiflora. The flowers 
are from two to two and a half Inches in diameter and 
are produced in large, many- flowered clusters, and 
the large, conspicuous,, bright yellow anthers add to 
the beauty of the clear pink petals. This rose may 
well become a popular garden plant. It offers pos- 
sibilities which the hybridist will undoubtedly take 
advantage of; and it is of considerable historical in- 
terest as the wild original of garden plants cultivated 
probably for centuries by the Chinese and known in 
Europe and America for more than a hundred years."

Rymandra exeelsa Salisbury. (Proteaceae . ) 42850. 
Seeds from Avondale, Auckland, New Zealand. Presented 
by Mr. H. R. Wright. "New Zealand honeysuckle tree, 
the wood of which is used for veneering purposes, in 
making furniture. Very pretty in the grain. Its 
flowers are pretty and at the same time odd, coming 
out of the side of the branches, instead of out of 
the terminals as in most cases. A pretty tree and a 
useful timber for furniture." (Wright.)
