          58040. PRUNUS sp. From Yunnan, China. Collected by J. F. Rock, 
Collaborator of the Bureau of Plant Industry. A white-flowered tree 
reaching 25 feet in height, native to the mountains of Yunnan at 
elevations of about 13,000 feet. The oblong, red fruits are edible, 
but not of much value. Interesting for trial as an ornamental plant 
and for the use of breeders. The elevation from which it comes indicates 
that it may prove hardy as far north as Boston.

8646. PUNICA GRANATUM. Pomegranate. From Arabia. Collected by
Barbour Lathrop and David Fairchild of this Department. A large 
and beautiful variety with rosy, thick skin and large, pink, juicy, 
sweet pulp; the flavor is pleasant and refreshing.

12566. PUNICA GRANATUM. Pomegranate. From Tunis. Cuttings collected 
by T. H. Kearney, Agricultural Explorer, on the premises of M. Robert, 
of Kalaa Srira. This is a large variety with moderately thick skin, 
pale pink and buff in color, the grains of pulp large, rose-red, juicy 
and sweet, the flavor pleasant but not pronounced, and the seeds soft.

13298. PUNICA GRANATUM. Pomegranate. An excellent and very productive 
variety, with large, bright red, thin-skinned fruits containing small, 
bright-red grains of pulp having an acid, vinous flavor.

27049. PUNICA GRANATUM. Krylezy-Kabuk Pomegranate. Cuttings of a 
Russian variety collected by Frank N. Meyer, Agricultural Explorer, 
near Sukhum-Kale, Caucasus. The fruit is of medium size and shows 
little tendency to crack; the skin is fairly thick and uniformly 
deep red; the core is medium-sized, the grains deep-red; the juicy, 
slightly acid pulp has a rich and vinous flavor. This pomegranate 
resembles the variety "Wonderful" and is a good shipper.

27055. PUNICA GRANATUM. Pomegranate. From Russia. Cuttings collected 
by Frank N. Meyer, Agricultural Explorer. A variety called Elisavetpolsky 
Sladkyi, obtained from the vicinity of Elizabethpol. The fruits are 
large with deep-red pulp of sharp, acid flavor. The tree is large and 
thrifty but the fruits split badly.

27961. PUNICA GRANATUM. Pomegranate. From Russia. Cuttings collected 
by Frank N. Meyer, Agricultural Explorer. A variety obtained from the 
neighborhood of Elizabethpol, Russian Caucasus (which is famous for its 
pomegranates). The fruits are large, sometimes 5 inches in diameter, 
with bright-red skin; the deep-red flesh is sour-sweet and pleasant, 
suggesting currants. The skin does not split readily.

30615. PUNICA GRANATUM. Pomegranate. Cuttings presented by Miss 
Ida Munro, Putnam, Georgia. This thrifty, prolific variety bears 
medium-sized fruits. The skin is thin and cream-colored, dotted with 
light red, and free from splitting tendencies. The small core is 
surrounded by bright rose-colored, sweet, juicy pulp.
