Notes on Behavior of Previous Introductions . 
Allium cepa (Liliaceae), 46664. Onion. Prom Honan, 
China. "This onion did very well last season; it pro- 
duced seed and stood in the ground all winter and is 
now about a foot high." (John H.Oyler, Ash Flat, Ark., 
April 19, 1982.) 
Dioscorea alata (Dloscoreaceae) , 46801. Greater yam, 
From the Plant Introduction Garden, Miami, Fla. "The 
yams planted in 1920 came up last season and did much 
better than the first year. We saved at least a peck 
of vine tubers from them and expect to have a large 
quantity this year. We dug up some of the 1920 plant- 
ing; the tubers weighed as much as 16 to 18 pounds 
apiece and we enjoyed eating them. Mrs. Tait thinks 
they are better than the Irish potato." (C. S, Tait, 
Brunswick, Ga., May 1, 1922.) 
Juniperus chinensis (Pinaceae), 44234. Chinese juniper. 
From Peking, China. "The little Chinese juniper which 
you sent me in 1920 has lived through this winter and 
grown until it is over a foot tall. It is the hardi- 
est of all the evergreens you sent me except the Ceph- 
alotaxus (C. drupacea sinensis, 40017. From Shensi, 
China)." (Lilla M. Harmon, Longmeadow, Mass., April 
15, 1922.) 
Lonieera sp. (Caprif oliaceae) , 39697. Honeysuckle. 
From Nanking, China. "The honeysuckle sent to me some 
years ago has been a great pleasure to me this spring. 
It is about 7 feet high, and its delicate, beautiful 
green leaves appear in early March while other things 
are still dormant. In April it is one mass of small, 
white flowers which are of unusual attraction to but- 
terflies*" (Mrs. Samuel G . FitzSlmons, Yonges Island* 
S. C. , April 21, 1922. )
