where it becomes one of the tallest of all trees. Can also be 
clipped into pyramids to serve in formal gardens and along

LARIX SP. (Pinaceae.) 33319. Seeds of a larch from 
Estate Mitino, Torchok, Twer government, Russia. "A larch, 
occurring in Manchuria, eastern Siberia, northern Korea, etc., 
forming here and there large forests. Its lumber is also of 
excellent quality, though apparently not ranked as high as that 
of Larix sibirica. It is also a fine ornamental tree, not 
growing as tall as L. sibirica, but better able to withstand 
drought and heat. Can also be clipped and pruned for use in 
formal gardens and seems naturally to branch out nearer the 
ground, than L. sibirica. Received from Mr. D. D. Romanoff, on 
whose estate it grew." (Meyer's introduction.) For distri- 
bution later.

from St. Petersburg Botanic Garden. "A rare, perennial Lathy- 
rus, which occurs here and there on mountain slopes in southern 
Bokhara, having large reddish-pink flowers, which are quite 
fragrant. Of value as a factor in hybridization experiments in 
trying to create perennial sweet peas, and as a possible forage 
plant for dry, hot regions." (Meyer's introduction.) For 
distribution later.

the hardy border." (Meyer's introduction.) For distribution 
later. 
ONOBRYCHIS SPP. (Fabaceae.) 33291-294. Seeds from St.
