Extensive plantation of the "Ta hong tsao" or "large 

 red jujube", (Ziziplnis Jujuba) . The jujube thrives well on 

 these loess table-lands of Honan province and suggests its 

 culture on our own soils of similar wind-formed character 

 which occur in Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri and other of the 

 Middle Western states. Photo No. A 39, by F. N. Meyer,
