          17752. ZIZIPHUS JUJUBA.
Jujube. From F. N. Meyer, Changli,
Chili, China. Fruit in size and shape
very similar to the jujube seedlings
commonly grown in Texas, but rather
finer flavored, about an inch long; skin
thin, tough, flesh rather dry, fairly
sweet. Not of special value unless very
prolific, as larger varieties are of
better quality.

19394. ZIZIPHUS JUJUBA.
Chinese Jujube. From F. N. Meyer,
Pekin, China. A large fruited variety
often met with in Chinese markets.
Seedling trees grown at Chico, California, 
now about 20 feet high, have
produced large quantities of fruit of
most excellent flavor. Seven hundred
small boxes of candied fruit from these
trees were served at the 1913 banquet
of the National Geographic Society.

35287. ZIZIPHUS JUJUBA.
Wild Jujube. The seeds of this plant
were collected by F. N. Meyer on the
city wall of Pekin. A very spiny shrub
or small tree, very drought-resistant,
sometimes used in China as a stock for
cultivated jujubes, and should be tried
as a stock for these fruits here.
