Hybrid peach. 



A hybrid originated at the Plant Intro-

 numbered, July 1924, for convenience 

 in distribution. 



This variety was produced by J. E. Mor- 

 row, superintendent of the Chico Garden, 

 by crossing the Bolivian Cling (S. P. I. No. 

 36126) and the Quetta nectarine (S. P. I. 

 No. 34684). A description of the fruit 

 follows : 



Fruit nearly round, 2 inchesi in diam- 

 eter ; cavity medium sized, mid-abrupt ; 

 suture mostly distinct, shallow ; apex with 

 very small point ; skin light greenish yel- 

 low, overlain with red at stem end and 

 side, slightly tough, separating readily 



from the flesh, with heavy tomentum ; 

 flesh white, little fiber, juicy, firm, pleasing 

 peachy flavor, clinging to pit; pit large 

 for size of fruit, 1% inches by 1 inch. A 

 good fruit for home use.

From Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Seeds 

 presented by A. E. V. Richardson, Super-

 Australian Institute of Science and In- 

 dustry, Bulletin No. 23. 



61304 and 61305. Avena sterilis L. Oats. 



61304. "Algerian. A very good general- 

 purpose oat, giving excellent yields in 

 all districts except those where a very 

 early variety is necessary. Occasion- 

 ally reported as having a tendency 

 to shatter and lodge, but on the whole 

 does neither. Season medium ; stool- 

 ing medium to abundant. The pani- 

 cle is equilateral, spreading, erect, 

 and rather short." (P. 27.) 



61305. " Calcutta. Straw weaker than 

 Algerian [S. P. I. No. 61304], and 

 more inclined to lodge. This variety 

 is reported to be early in most dis- 

 tricts, but it is sometimes considered 

 as midseason. The panicle is equi- 

 lateral, spreading, and erect. (P. 

 26.) 



61306 to 61308. Avena sativa L. Oats. 



61306. "Dun. A general-purpose vari- 

 ety for the colder districts. Season 

 late ; stooling abundant ; the panicle 

 equilateral and erect." (P. 21. ) 



61307. " Quandong. Medium stooler as 

 compared with Ruakura [S. P. I. No. 

 61308], but has slightly taller, 

 stronger straw. Good variety for 

 dry districts. Season early ; panicle 

 equilateral, spreading, erect, and 

 rigid." (P. 22.) 



61308. "Ruahura. Good general-purpose 

 oat. Season early ; stooling abun- 

 dant ; panicle equilateral, spreading, 

 erect, rigid, lateral branches rigid." 

 (P. 25.)

" Yarran. Season early ; stooling me- 

 dium, panicle equilateral, erect, long,
