92303. ACTINIDIA CHINENSIS X ARGUTA. This hybrid, between widely different species, 
was made by Dr. David Fairchild of the Bureau of Plant Industry, with the idea that 
some of the second generation might prove to have the hardiness of the staminate 
parent (Actinidia arguta) and the large fruited character of the pistillate parent 
(A. chinensis). The hybrid has not yet fruited. The present plants are grown from 
cuttings of one of the original plants and are offered for their possible value. 
Grow the plants in a rich well-drained loam and give plenty of water. For trial in 
the South and on the Pacific coast. (Chico, Calif., and Glenn Dale, Md.)
