A DAVIDIANA PEACH TREE IN CALIFORNIA, AMYGDALUS DAVIDIANA, S. P. I. No. 18262. 



The great vigor and healthy appearance of this Chinese peach species, which is used as a stock 

 in China, has attracted a great deal of attention among orchardists and nurserymen who have 

 seen the trees, of which the photograph shows one now growing at the Chico Field Station. The 

 tree shown was planted as seed in March, 1906, and is now 20 feet high and has a trunk circum- 

 ference of 20 inches 1 foot from the ground. With plums, peaches, apricots, and almonds it 

 makes a perfect union. Photographed (P19655FS) by P. H. Dorsett at Chico, Cal., May 14, 1916.
