Crataegus pinnatifida . Chinese Haw Orchard. 

 An orchard of Chinese Haw trees near Tai an fu, Shan- 

 tung province, China. Trees of the Chinese haw which were 

 grown from seeds sent in in 1906 by Mr. Frank N. Meyer are 

 now growing in various localities in this country. As yet 

 none of the imported varieties have fruited. The fact that 

 good sized haw orchards are planted in China should en- 

 courage American horticulturists to study our own haw 





 species and find out if they or the Chinese species are not 



worthy of orchard cultivation in this country. Photograph
