21 A note from Ronald M. Peterson, South Dakota State University, Brook- 

 ings, S. Dak., to author concerning this name, "I believe this is M. baccata cv. 

 Yellow Siberian. Actually it was probably intended to refer to a pure M. 

 baccata seedling. In a leaflet printed February 15, 1933, Dr. Hansen refers to 

 this parent as Yellow Siberian Crab."
