          30353. MALUS SP. Muz-Alma
Apple. From Karawag, Chinese Turkestan, 
through Frank N. Meyer. Variety 
thought to be identical with 30309,
from Khotan, with medium-sized,
yellowish-green fruits of peculiar
glassy texture; taste sweet but somewhat 
insipid; good keeping qualities;
ripening in autumn; able to withstand
considerable drought and alkali. Becomes 
spreading when old.

31689. MALUS SP. Wild Apple.
From F. N. Meyer, Saisansk, Southern
Siberia. An extra hardy, drought and
cold resistant variety of wild apple,
valuable for the production of hardier
types of cultivated apples.

31690. MALUS SP. Apple. From
Saisansk, Southern Siberia. A small
apple of bright red color, and possessing 
a most excellent flavor. Grown
sparingly near Saisansk; apparently
an improved variety of Malus baccata or
perhaps a hybrid. Is locally sold dried
or as a sweetmeat and for compote
and preserves.
