Blossom of the Loquat 



Mr. btrbank has found the loquat alwaai perfectly self- 

 fertile. But it is easy to cross, and tto doubt improvement mill 

 come about through crossbreeding with varieties grown in different 

 regions. In Mr. Barbank's experience the plant yields rather 

 readily to efforts for its improvement. It is well worth 

 the attention of any one living in a region 

 where it can be grown — notably 

 the Gulf itatis.
