FRUITS OF THE YANG TAW VINE OF THE YANG-TSE VALLEY 
This vine (Actinidia chinensis) grows wild along the great river of China, and its fruits 
are said to resemble the best gooseberries in flavor, being used by Americans resident there 
in the making of pies and jams. The vine itself is a rampant grower, and its foliage is 
unusually attractive. As an ornamental plant alone, it is worthy a place on every farm. 
Thousands of plants have been introduced, and it will soon be in the nurserymen’s hands.
