Ziziphus jujuba. Dried Chinese Jujuoes. 

 The large round jujube or Ta-yuan-tsao from Pai hsiang 

 chen, Shansi Province, China. (Hens' Eggs for comparison). 

 The Tsao or Chinese jujube has proven hardy in the latitude 

 of Washington and has borne good fruit in Texas and Cali- 

 fornia. The discovery by Frank N. Meyer and the successful 

 importation of cuttings of this unusually large fruited 

 variety, S.P.I. No. 38243, cannot fail to have an effect 

 upon the spread of jujube culture in this country. Photo- 

 graph by Meyer, Feb. 14, 1914.
