CHAPTER V. 



JAPANESE VARIETIES CONTINUED. 



CLASS E. 



ua^ er 



The varieties given, this head are grown in Japan, and de- 

 scribed by the Japanese Agricultural Society. It is not known 

 whether any of them are fruiting in California. Most of the 

 varieties imported from Japan, after having fruited in this 

 State, were given, and are known under different names, un- 

 like those given below. The original labels having become 

 lost, it is doubtful if any of these varieties will prove any bet- 

 ter than those now grown in California. 



NATSU-DAI-DAI. 



Fruit very large, round, somewhat oblate. Rind thick, with 

 rough surface. Color, bright yellow in first year; changes to 

 dull yellow in second year. It also remains on the tree till 

 the second summer, and then it is palatable. Pulp sweet, sub- 

 acid, juicy. Good as summer fruit for table use.
