 fornia. This variety is grown in Peking gardens under the name "Vu tsao" meaning, 

 "Tooth jujube" on account of the form and shajic of the fruit. The quality of the fresh 

 fruit, when ripe, is very good indeed. It processes well, and is one of tlie best flavored 

 grafted sorts that have so far fruited in this countrv. S. P. I. 36854. Photograph by
