several years but have made poor growth. A tree at Mr. Spinks' place, Duarte, is

Introduced as budwood from an elevation of 6.000 feet in Atlixco, Mexico, by D. E. 

 Clower of Monrovia through G. Fuentes. Described by Ryerson in the Pomona 

 Journal for February, 1913. 



Ultimate (Guat.). 



Original tree on place of C. P. Taft, Orange. Seed planted in 1902 and. according 

 to Mr. Taft, dropped its fruit badly during the early years of fruiting. Placed by 

 Mr. Taft next to the Taft variety both in quality and hardiness. Described by 

 F. O. Popenoe in these Proceedings for October 23, 1915. 



Val de Flor (Mex.). 



Introduced as budwood in 1912 by E. G. Hart of Los Angeles from the state of 

 Oaxaca, Mexico. Budded trees fruiting this season show two types of fruit, one 

 oblong and one bottle-necked. Described by F. O. Popenoe in these Proceedings for 

 October 23, 1915. 



Veranero. 



A variety obtained by United States Department of Agriculture from Caracas, 

 Venezuela, under S. P. I. No. 35,121, March, 1913. It is called Veranero on account 

 of the crop coming at the end of the dry season, while the high time for the other 

 varieties growing about Caracas is August. Said by Pittier to grow at some eleva- 

 tion and should do well in southern California, where the rain is somewhat scarce. 



Verde (Guat.). 



Introduced as budwood in 1911 by the West India Gardens from Atlixco, Mexico, 

 under No. 17. Described by Ryerson in the Pomona Journal for February, 1913, 

 as the California Trapp. 



Volcan (Guat.) 



Introduced as budwood in 1912 by the West India Gardens from Atlixco, Mexico. 

 Described by Ryerson in the Pomona Journal for February, 1913, under the name 

 "Itzia." 



Wagner (Guat.). 



Original tree on place of C. F. Wagner, Fairfax and Fountain avenues, Hollywood. 

 The Wagner is said to be a seedling from the Royal and was planted in the spring of 

 1907, bearing its first fruit the fifth year, all dropping but three. The crop in 1914 

 was 36 fruits ; in 1915, 442, and in 1910, 186 fruits. Budded trees have been bearing 

 during the last two years; some four-year-old trees are carrying fruit in the San 

 Joaquin Valley in 1916. Described by F. O. Popenoe in these Proceedings for 

 October 23, 1915. 



Walker (Guat.). 



Original tree on place of- J. H. Walker, 1547 Las Palmas avenue, Hollywood. It 

 was planted in 1897 or 1898 and began bearing at six years of age, since which time 

 it has produced every year except in 1914. The crop for the past few years has 

 been from 1,800 to 3.000 fruits. In 1915 it produced about 3.500 fruits but fewer 

 than that in 1916; has probably brought in more actual cash to the owner than any 

 other fruit tri" in California. Budded trees have been bearing for several years in 

 various parts of southern California. Described by F. W. Popenoe in the Pomona 

 Journal for February, 1911. Sometimes known as "Walker Prolific."
