A Chinese Dwarf Peach for Plant Breeders (Amyqdalus persica), S. 



No. 41395. 



P. I. 



Although dwarf peaches such as the Dwarf Orleans have long been known and little use made of them, 

 a new dwarf from China, the home of the peach, may not be without interest, particularly to 

 breeders. This variety, sent in by Rev. George Campbell, of Kiayingchow, near Swatow, pro- 

 duced seven fruits when only 15 inches high. They were white clingstones of a good quality and 

 quite ornamental, and were borne close to the trunk, which was about the size of a lead pencil. It 

 is said to come true to seed. (Photographed by Mr. Peter Bisset in 1916 from seed planted at Chico, 

 Cal., in October, 1915; P20612FS.)
