   "Some 
  years 
  since, 
  when 
  Mr. 
  Frank 
  Meyer 
  was 
  in 
  China, 
  he 
  asked 
  me 
  to 
  obtain 
  

   for 
  him 
  if 
  possible 
  some 
  seeds 
  of 
  the 
  Chinese 
  persimmon, 
  which 
  is 
  for 
  the 
  most 
  part 
  

   seedless. 
  I 
  mentioned 
  it 
  at 
  the 
  time 
  to 
  a 
  friend, 
  who 
  is 
  now 
  in 
  Nanking 
  and 
  who 
  

   has 
  sent 
  me 
  these 
  seeds 
  just 
  found 
  in 
  a 
  persimmon. 
  If 
  he 
  had 
  sent 
  a 
  larger 
  quantity 
  

   an 
  interesting 
  experiment 
  might 
  have 
  been 
  made, 
  since 
  all 
  Chinese 
  persimmons 
  are 
  

   propagated 
  by 
  grafting 
  upon 
  the 
  wild 
  stock."
