YOUNG FRUITS AND FLOWERING BRANCH OF PASSION VINE, PASSIFLORA SP. 



The large flowers, ease of propagation from cuttings, existence of numerous edible fruited 

 species, and the unique and delicate flavor of the finer sorts, together with the unrivaled shipping 

 qualities of the fruit and the presence of hardy species in America would seem to make the 

 problem of creating a new hardy fruiting vine for the Southern States a promising one. Pho- 

 tograph (P19657FS) taken by P. H. Dorsett, Chico Field Station, May 16, 1916. Natural size.
