Phyllostachys nigra. Drawn at home in the Napa Valley from a plant in our garden. Bamboo probably has more written about it than any other kind of grass. A great impetus has been given to the collecting and cultivation of bamboo by the American Bamboo Society, whose publications are not only informative but very interesting as well. My own interest in bamboo is one of may years standing, and my collection of plants now includes some rare and exotic species. —Henry Evans
