Cuttings of the following; notes by Dr. Samuel Cochran: 



26794. " Manao shihliu, Carnelian pomegranate. The fruit is long instead 

 of round, and the end attached to the twig is pointed. Kernels are large and 

 the flavor good." 



26795. " Yushih tzu-tzu shihliu, Jade seed pomegranate. White kernels, 

 'like rock candy,' my friend says. The flavor is good and does not cloy. 

 The most valued variety we have." 



26796. "Peh-hwa. shihlhi, white-flowered pomegranate. So called from the 

 color of the blossom. The leaves are not red when first opened as are other 

 varieties; the fruit is not ruddy like others and the kernels are white; the 

 fruit is large, but rots easily and drops from the tree, so the yield is small. 

 It is of good flavor."
