Rosa GOriifolia (Rosaceae), 48086. Rote. Prom Bell, 
Md. Presented by Dr. Walter Van Fleet. "Var. Frobeli. 
A promising rose for budding or grafting stock. This 
rose has been introduced through several sources under ^ 
the name of Rosa laxa. It was grown at the Arnold Ar- ; J|j 
boretum under R. laxa for several years. R. coriifolia is '" 
related to the common dog rose, R. eanina. It 16 a 
strong grower with upright and nearly smooth stems; 
The flowers are white,- the fruit, globose and red. 
The vigor and hardiness, together with its upright and 
nearly smooth stems and lack of suckers, make it a 
promising plant for a stock. It seeds readily and pro- 
lifically and the seedlings come very true. Fruiting 
plants are to be found at the Arnold Arboretum, Boston, 
Mass., and in the collections of Dr. W. Van Fleet, 
Bell Station, Md. The rose appears to be perfectly 
hardy and very resistant to the attacks of mildew."

Seeale eereale (Poaceae), 48096. Rye. From Johan- 
nesburg, Transvaal. Seeds purchased from the Agri- 
cultural Supply Association, through Mr. J. Burtt- 
Davy, botanist. "Orange Free State Rye. A strain of 
rye-corn which has become adapted to the droughty 
conditions of the Orange Free State, where it is often 
grown on the eastern borders with the sole aid of the 
sparse winter rains. Lack of winter moisture accounts 
for the rather poor development of the grain." (Burtt- 
Davy.) 
Notes on Behavior of Previous Introductions. 
The following report was received June 2, 1919, 
from Mr. Paul Phillips, of Orlando, Fla. "I had ripe 
fruit on some plants of Cariea papaya (S. P. I. No. 44942) 
in less than a year from the time of planting the seed, j 
One plant had 60 fruits at one time, some of whlch|f§ 
weighed over 7 pounds. I have sold 293 fruits for ' 
$133.00 [average price 45^ apiece.]"
