          37559. AMYGDALUS PEDUNCULATA. 
From M.M. Timogowitsch,
Chita, Trans-Baikal, Siberia. A bushy
wild peach from 1½ to 6½ feet high,
small oblong strongly dentate leaves,
and solitary pale red flowers. A very
desirable hardy shrub found in the
extremely cold region around Lake
Baikal, Siberia, and in northeastern
Mongolia. Character of fruit unknown 
but may have value for breeding 
purposes.

AMYGDALUS PERSICA,
Seedling of the Fei Peach. From F. N.
Meyer, Feitcheng, China. Budded tree
from seedling of the famous Fei 
variety. Fruits large, clingstone, pale
yellowish. Flesh white, pink around
the stone; mild subacid, rather lacking
in flavor; firm, somewhat tough; juicy;
good keeper and shipper. Fruits early
in August. Worth testing though probably 
much inferior to real Fei peach.

24915. AMYGDALUS PERSICA. 
Chinese Peach. From Canton,
China, through G. W. Groff. Coming
from South China, which has hot,
humid climate where ordinary peaches 
fail, this variety may prove valuable
for subtropical regions, although the
fruit produced in California was too
strong in flavor and too astringent to
make the variety valuable there.
