          36111. PRUNUS TOMENTOSA.
Chinese Bush Cherry. From Peking,
China, through Frank N. Meyer. A
bush bearing small, sour cherries on
short stems, valuable for preserves.
Its extreme hardiness and ornamental
character, and probable usefulness for
hybridization experiments, make it
promising for dooryards in the northwest. 
Local name, "Suan ying tau'r,"
meaning, sour cherry.

36718. PRUNUS TRILOBA.
Flowering Plum. From Frank N.
Meyer, Peking, China. Hardy shrub
producing in early spring light pink
to dark violet-pink double blossoms.
Much cultivated by Chinese in small
gardens; worthy extensive trial as
dooryard shrub. Seedlings from seeds
collected in German legation grounds,
Peking, likely to vary in color, time
of blossoming and doubleness.

18586. PRUNUS SP. Plum.
From F. N. Meyer, Shanghai, China.
A free bearing plum of the Japanese
type having red fruit of medium size
and good quality.
