          38403. NUNNEZHARIA
PACAYA. Pacaya Salad Palm.
From Coban, Guatemala. Collected by
O. F. Cook. A slender, small palm
cultivated generally for the young
male inflorescences called Pacayas
by Guatemalans, which resemble
green corn in the husk; 4 to 6 pacayas
are produced each year; begins bearing
the fourth year; makes excellent raw
salad. Try under shelter in Florida.

12910. OLEA EUROPAEA.
Chitoni Olive. From Tunis, North
Africa, through T. H. Kearney. The
principal oil-producing olive of Northern 
Tunisia, but not so well adapted
to the drier, hotter regions as other
sorts like the Chemlali. For trial in
California.

13567. OLEA EUROPAEA.
Chemlali Olive. From Tunis, North
Africa, through Thomas H. Kearney.
Small oil-producing olive, grown in
immense plantations around Sfax
where only from 5 to 10 inches of rain
falls, irrigated for first two or three
summers only. Orchards created by
planting pieces of wood from bases of
old trees. Promising variety for
California, because of robust growth.
