          38478-80. ACHRADELPHA
SP. Injerto. From Coban, Guatemala.
Collected by O. F. Cook. Finer tree
than true sapota. Adapted apparently
to cooler climate. Deserves trial in
Florida. Fruit yellowish-green with
russeted ends. Sweetish, smooth, tender, 
yellow pulp, tinged with brown,
with no astringency. Will be liked
by those who like Japan persimmons.

ACTINIDIA CHINENSIS. Yang
Taw. Decidous, trailing vine, with
handsome white flowers, occurring
wild in Eastern China. Dioecious; the
pistillate plants produce fruits resembling 
in size and shape small plums,
with delicate gooseberry flavor. Eaten
raw or made into delicious jelly. For
testing for porch decoration and fruiting 
in the mild-wintered regions of
the United States.

27160. ADANSONIA DIGITATA. 
Baobab Tree. From O. W.
Barrett, Tete, Zambesia. Soft-wooded
tree with enormous spreading
branches. The bark furnishes a
strong fiber suitable for the manufacture 
of ropes and coarse cloth. The
leaves are used by the natives for
medicinal purposes, and the agreeable,
slightly acid pulp of the fruit, is edible.
