The Yang Taw vine (Actinidia chin en sis) bearing a single 

 immature fruit; the first to be produced in America. 



The vine was trained over the porch of a private 

 house at Chlco, California, and produced a number of fruits. 



When trained high allowing only a single stem to grow 

 and form a trunk and the leafy branches to spread out over 

 a pergola this rank growing vine produces a very satisfac- 

 tory shade. 



This fruit never reached maturity, so that at pre- 

 sent, we are unable to corroborate the statements of trav- 

 ellers in China who claim the fruit is of considerable 

 value for jams and preserves. Photograph by R. L. Beagles,
