healthfulness and abundant vitality, is
adapted to the most extended use. The

found to be hardy. In 1914 w. sinensis
alba, a variety with most beautiful pure
white flowers, was originated. In 1869
a variety with double flowers was intro
duced from Japan. W. magnifica is fine
late Towering variety with purplefowers.
From Japan there is W. Japonica, with
purple flowers, a variety of the same with
white flowers; also w. longi-racemo osa,
purple, with panicles exceeding thirty
inches in length. w. Frutescens is ma
tive of this country, with blush purple
flowers. One year ago last winter we set
a small root OF W. Sinensis at one corner
of the house. Until very recently it has
remained in an almost dormant condition

Inc BAMBOO.
This is agenns of grasses, of which most
of the species attain a great size, many of
them twenty or thirty feet, some seventy
or one hundred feet in height. The speci-
mems are numerous, and are found in
tropical and sub-tropical regions, both OF
the eastern and western hemispheres.
They are of great Importance to the in
habitants of the countries in which they
grow. All of them have jointed subter-
ranean root-stock which throws up stems
from ten to one hundred feet high. These
are generally straight and erect, although
one large species (B. agrestis) common in
dry mountainous situations in the south
east of Asia, has crooked and sometimes
creeping stems. The stems grow to their
full height unbranchcd but afterwards
throw out straight horizontal branches,
especially in their upper parts, forming a
dense thicket.
Some of the smaller kinds are often
planted as hedges. The stems are jointed
like those of other grasses, very hard, but
light and elastic, hollow, containing only
light spongy pith, except at the joints,
or nodes, where they are divided by strong
partitions. They are, therefore, readily
converted into water vessels of various
sorts, and when the partitions are re-
moved, they are used as pipes for convey
ing water. They are also much employed
for house-building, for bridges, etc. The
smaller stems are converted into walking
sticks, and are exported under the name
of bamboo cane. In China the interior
portions of the stem are used for making
paper.
The stems OF the different species vary
very much in thickness of the woody part
and so in their adaptation to different
purposes. The external covering of the
stem is, in all the species, remarkably sill
icious; the estem of B. tabacaria is so hard
that it strikes fire when the hatchet is ap
piled. This species is native of Amboy
ma and Java it's slender stems are polished
and used for the stalks of tobacco pipes
The leaves of some kinds are used fO1
thatch, and the Chinese plait hats oi
them; of the external membrane of the
stems OF some they make paper. From
the knots of the bamboo there exuds a
saccharine juice, which dries up on exposure
to the atmosphere, and which the Greeks
call Indian honey. The young shoots OF
some kinds OF bamboo are eaten like aspar-
agus or are picked in vinegar. Those OF
B. Tulda. acommon Bengalese species, are
used for these purposes when about two
feet long. The seeds of some species are
used as rice, and for making kind of
beer. Bamboos are generally OF very rapid
growth, and they are often found in arid
situations, which would otherwise be des-
titute OF vegetation.-Ex.
