61302. AMYGDALUS PERSICA X PERSICA NECTARINA. Hybrid Peach. Originated 
at the Plant Introduction Garden, Chico, California. J. E. Morrow, 
superintendent of the Garden, produced this variety by crossing the 
Bolivian Cling (SPI 36126) and the Quetta Nectarine (SPI 34684). The 
fruits are clings of attractive appearance and fine flavor. Mr. Morrow 
describes them as creamy yellow with red cheeks; cavity fairly deep; 
suture distinct; stone medium sized, red, staining the light-colored 
flesh which is sweet and of good qaality. Considered a promising peach 
for table use. Ripens at Chico during the first part of August.

58030. ANNONA DIVERSIFOLIA. Ilama. From Chiapas, Mexico. Presented by 
C. A. Purpus. This tree, indigenous in the mountains and foothills of 
southwestern Mexico, Guatemala, and Salvador, yields one of the finest 
annonaceous fruits of the Tropics. It may be said, in fact, to rival 
the cherimoya, and it has the advantage that it can be grown successfully 
at low elevations, while the cherimoya only attains perfection in the 
Tropics when cultivated at 3000 feet or higher. Because of the heavy 
bloom which covers the green or reddish fruit, and which gives it a 
whitish cast, it is called anona blanca in Guatemala; in southwestern 
Chiapas it is known as papauce. The fruit is conical, oval, or round,
