Persimmon Tree in Bearing 
This shows an improved variety of persimmon in full 
bearing. Mr. Burbank suggests that great improvement may be 
wrought by combining the Japanese and the American varieties. At 
first the Japanese is incomparably superior, the American per- 
simmon being very litile prized in the regions where it 
grows. Through combination and selective breedinga 
really notable orchard fruit should be developed.
