 China, with the bark exfoliating in large scales, leaving whitish areas v/hich an old 

 trees become chalky white. It is also known as the white-barked pine. For trial in

113707. PINUS CANARIENSIS. Pine. From Canary Islands. Presented by Antonio 

 Gonzalez, Director, Horticultural Experiment Station, Teneriffe. A pine, native to 

 the Canary Islands, which thrives in warm-temperate climates. It is suited to nearly 

 all soils and has a straight trunk even when it grows in an isolated position. The 

 wood of this pine, known in the Canary Islands as "Tea" is very hard, very difficult 

 to work, but unequalled for durability and for building purposes because it does not 

 rot. For trial in southern California and the Gulf region. (Chico, Calif.)

 by F. N. Meyer, Bureau of Plant Industry. Variety Nan a . A very dwarf, double-flower- 

 ed variety which bears large numbers of highly acid fruits, too small to be of value.
