Winter view through a Chinese Jujube plantation lo- 

 cated on one of the loess terraces near Lingpau in the 

 Honan province of China. In the background is a Buddhist 

 temple surrounded by old arbor vitae trees. The Jujube 

 (Zizyphus jujiiba] is grown for its fruits which when pre- 

 served resemble dates. It has proven hardy where the 

 temperature goes to 22 F. Photo No. A 38, by F. N. Meyer,
