A Grove of the Chinese Pistache, Pistacia chinensis. 



A large and extended grove of Chinese pistache trees 

 planted as a burial grove to a neighboring village. The 

 dense, dark-green foliage, relieved here and there by a 

 few canary-yellow tinted branches, contrasts vividly with 

 the brown and barren hills around. Carefully planted beds 

 of garlic in foreground. Photograph taken by Mr. F. N. 

 Meyer at Tsai chia pu, Shensi, China, September 9, 1914.
