fruticetum of Mr. Vilmorin, No. 35179 being grown from 
seed No. 1133 collected by Mr. E. H. Wilson in Central

LONICERA THIBETICA.. ( Caprif oliaceae . ) 35188. Plants 
of a honeysuckle from the private fruticetum of Mr. 
Maurice L. de Vilmorin, Les Barres, Nogent sur Vernisson, 
Loiret, France. "A shrub from one half to one and a half 
meters in height, with slender spreading and recurving, 
often rocumbent branches forming a dense intricate bush 
much broader than high; young branchlets villose-puberu- 
lose or tomentulose; older branches clothed with greyish- 
brown shredding bark. Flowers appear in May and June and 
sparingly during the whole summer and autumn. Fruit 
ripens in August and September. This Lonicera in the 
Arnold Arboretum proved hardy with slight protection 
during the winter and seems well suited for planting oh 
rocky slopes and banks. The flowers are very fragrant, 
and the bright color of the berries makes the shrub orna- 
mental in Autumn." (C.S.Sargent.) For distribution later. 
LONICERA SPP. (Caprifoliaceae. ) 35189-190. Plants of 
honeysuckles, from Mr. Maurice L. de Vilmorin, Les Barres, 
Nogent sur Vernisson, Loiret, France. Two promising 
species as yet undetermined from Mr. Vilmorin's private 
fruticetum, which is probably the greatest collection of 
ornamental shrubs ever brought together. For distribution 
later. 
LYCOPERSICON SPP. ( Solanaceae . ) 35151-154. Seeds of 
tomatoes from the Museum of Natural History, Paris. 
Presented by the Director. Introduced for the use of 
breeders in the attempt to bring together all recorded 
species of this valuable fruit. For distribution later. 
MISCANTHUS JAPONICUS. (Poaceae.) 35227. Seeds from 
Naples. Purchased from Messrs. Dammann and Company. "This 
grass has been found in our experimental work to produce a 
light bulky paper in many respects similar to that made 
from esparto. The yield of fibre is up to the average of 
esparto, and there may be areas where the plants can be 
grown especially for paper making. It thrives on the 
poorer soils in this region and has been grown with some 
success even in Maine; the excessive winter killing there, 
however, would prevent its becoming a successful crop 
plant." (Charles J. Brand.) For distribution.
