Fruiting Branches of a Recently Introduced Chinese Prinsepia (Prinsepia 

 uniflora). (See S. P. I. No. 39432.) 



This dry-land spiny shrub should be adapted to the extremes of drought and cold of the Great 

 Plains area and the extreme Southwest. Its fruits are dark red in color and vary a good 

 deal in size and in degree of acidity and amount of pulp. It is probably capable of consider- 

 able improvement bv selection. (Photographed by Frank N. Mever, Fuchengchen, Shansi,
