          35201. AMYGDALUS PERSICA. Peach. From Mengtsze, Yunnan, China.

is a golden cling with firm, pure yellow flesh of good quality. A 
promising peach for commercial purposes.

36485. AMYGDALUS PERSICA. Peach. From the Kuram Valley, north-
western India. Obtained through Major G. J. Davis, Commandant, 
Kuram Militia. This remarkable peach, originally secured from India 
under the name of Shalil, is of vigorous growth and unusual leaf 
habit. The fruit somewhat resembles Muir in general appearance; it 
is oval, with yellow skin; bright yellow, fairly firm, juicy flesh; 
and rather large pit. J. E. Morrow, superintendent of the Chico 
Garden, reports that it seems satisfactory for canning and drying; 
and its seedlings are being used with excellent success as rootstocks 
on which to graft other varieties.

41395. AMYGDALUS PERSICA. Dwarf Peach. From Kaying, Kwangtung 
Province, China. Presented by George Campbell, who described it as 
a curious variety cultivated in southern China as a pot plant. At 
the Plant Introduction Garden, Chico, California, it has been found 
to be quite unusual in character. The tree is short, stout, and 
spreading in habit, and has long, dark, very abundant foliage. The 
flowers are pink, and highly ornamental. The fruits, of which only a 
few have been produced at Chico up to the present, appear to be white 
clingstones of no particular merit. The tree has shown itself highly 
susceptible to leaf curl and other fungous diseases.

golden yellow flesh of excellent quality. At Chico the ripening
