          37911. ANNONA SPINESCENS.
Araticum. From Urubu, Bahia, Brazil,
through Dorsett, Shamel and Popenoe.
Wild, bushy shrub 15 feet high, com-
mon on low river banks. Its compact
growth and stout spines make it a 
possiable hedge plant. Fruit orange-red
three inches long, somewhat resembling 
cherimoya; edible, but of little
value except possibly for hog food. A
possible stock for cherimoya.

ANNONA SQUAMOSA. Sugar
Apple. Indigenous to tropical America
and now cultivated throughout the
tropics of both hemispheres. Superior
varieties are readily propagated by
budding on seedlings of the same
species or on A. glabra. The roundish
fruit, about 4 inches in diameter, con-
tains soft granular pulp of pleasant,
sweet flavor, enclosing numerous
seeds.

CADAMBA. From G. H. Cave, 
Darjeeling, India. Large deciduous 
ornamental tree, of the coffee family,

for cattle. The wood is white with a
yellowish tinge, soft, evenly grained
and much used for building purposes.
