Amyfdalus persica. The Fei Peach. 



An orchard of the Fei peach at Feitcheng, Shantung 

 Province, China. A thousand taels (700) worth of fruit 

 was sold from this small orchard in the fall of 1913. It 

 is one of the highest priced peaches in China retailing for 

 4-82 apiece. A seedling of this Fei peach was fruited last 

 season at the Chico Field Station, but Mr. Meyer has now 

 succeeded in importing fine cuttings and plants of this 

 very large late clingstone variety which the Chinese rate 

 so highly. Photograph by Frank N. Meyer, March 20, 1914.
