THE KUAN LI, OR CHINESE WATER PEAR 
This is a cultivated form of the Usuri pear, and is a very promising stock. Compare the growth 
with that shown in Fig. 10 above. Within a year or two, it is expected that seed of this valu- 
able type of pear can be furnished from the government plant station at Chico, Cal.; bud- 
wood can be secured at an early date. The above photograph made Aug. 14, 1919. (Neg. 
25425.) (Fig. 11.)
