foliage. 76, the identity of this tree is doubted. We shall give 

 description later.

 crotches. Few but stout branches. Growth two feet. No 

 fruit. 



Titus, 10 — Very vigorous, spreading, shoots stout and dark 

 colored. Foliage large, thick and leathery, with heavy pubes-

 productive. Growth one and one-half feet. The fruit is large 

 and handsome. Season September. Good for cooking. 



Vargulek (12 M), 26 — In habit of growth like the preceding. 

 Inclined to form crotches. Rather slender for the heavy load 

 of fruit (one and one-half bushels in 1896), which checked the
