U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICUL- 

 TURE. 

 Notes from Foreign Correspondents. 



China, Yachow, Szechuan Province. 

 Mr. E. T. Sheed, May 4. Says they 

 have three varieties of oranges there, 

 a mandarin (loose-sliinned), one like 

 the Florida or Calitornia tight-slvinned 

 seeded variety, and an orange with a 

 slightly bitter twang. Says he prefers 

 the latter to either of the others. It 

 is of medium size and very juicy and 

 rough-skinned. Is grown only in one 

 place near there. They have many 

 wild berries. There is a large yellow 

 raspberry growing in the mountains 

 that is particularly delicious. It has 

 no thorns, but is very hairy. He will 

 send seeds and plants from there. 



Egypt, Port Said. Mr. O. P. Cook, 

 June 17. Thinks Eucommia ulmoides 

 worth experimenting with to deter- 

 mine the value of the gum it contains. 

 Thinks we ought to try a series of 

 experiments with Picus elastica in the 

 irrigated districts of the southwest. 

 Picus nitida in Egypt is much like P. 

 elastica. Thinks all the desirable 

 trees of Egypt would grow in the 

 southwest. If excluded it would be by 

 heat, rather than cold. 



Prance, Marseilles. Director of the 

 Colonial Museum. June S. Offers to 

 send tubers of wild species of Solan- 

 um commersonii and S. Maglia. 



India, Amritsar. Mr. Theo. C. Mai- 

 ler, May 25. Says mangos are propa- 

 gated there solely by grafting. Says 

 that banana blight is a disease un- 

 known in India. 



Italy, Naples. Mr. Willy MuUer, 

 June 30. Sends list of Yucca hybrids, 

 with prices. 



Turkestan, Askabad. Mr. P. N. 

 Meyer, Agricultural Explorer. Writes 

 that Turkestan does not compare fa- 

 vorably with the Caucasus. It is very 

 hot and dry, and the vegetation not 

 very varied. The temperature was 100 

 degrees Fahrenheit at S A. M. the day 

 he wrote. Most trees have to be wa- 

 tered periodically or they die in one 

 or two years. In Krasnovodsk, which 

 is quite mild in winter, there is a beau- 

 tiful flowering bush, Poinciana gilliesii, 

 which thrives with very little irriga- 

 tion; Eleagnus angustifolia, Populus 

 diversifolia and a species of Saxaul 

 bush, also need very little water. There 

 are, however, apparently few trees that 

 resist the aridness of the Central Asian 

 plains, where hot summers are fol- 

 lowed by cold winters, and high winds 

 blow frequently in both winter and

summer. The trees that look the best 

 are the native form of Ulmus campea- 

 tris, the Chinese Ailanthus glandulosa, 

 and the North American RoMnia 

 pseudacacia. There are lots of apri- 

 cots, cherries, plums and cucumbers 

 on the market. The fruits are all of 

 small size, apparently nearly all seed- 

 lings, and according to Mr. Meyer's in- 

 terpreter, all are imported from Persia, 

 where in the northern part between 

 the Vudsnur and Mesked, he saw whole 

 mountain sides covered with wild apri- 

 cots. Mr. Meyer has seen trains ot 

 camels come in loaded with cucumbers 

 and apricots. The apricots are sweet- 

 kerneled. He will send seeds.
