          18587. PRUNUS PSEUDOCERASUS. Tangsi Cherry. Cuttings collected 
by F. N. Meyer. Agricultural Explorer. An entirely new 
species of fruiting cherry. Until recently the name P. pseudocerasus 
was erroneously applied to the Japanese flowering 
cherry. This Chinese species, which produces an excellent 
fruit that ripens 10 days earlier than the earliest fruiting 
cherry in California, is an unusually vigorous grower in 
mild climates. Deserves the consideration of plant breeders 
and cherry growers generally.

43176. PRUNUS SALICINA. Japanese Plum. Var. Alpha. From New 
Zealand. Plants presented by H. R. Wright. A medium-sized 
plum; skin dark, solid-red; flesh golden yellow, somewhat 
stringy; flavor pleasing, rather acid. Apparently a good 
shipper and keeper.

43182. PRUNUS SALICINA X (?). Plum. Var. Best's Hybrid. From 
New Zealand. Plants presented by H. R. Wright. Said to be a 
splendid dessert plum. A cross between the Cherry Plum and 
Ogon. The fruits are large, yellow, and of a pleasing flavor.

32670. PRUNUS SPINOSA X DOMESTICA. Hybrid Plum. From Kozlov, 
Russia. Scions presented to F. N. Meyer, Agricultural Explorer, 
by the plant breeder I. V. Mijurin. A hybrid produced by 
him between the Green Reine Claude and the Sloe (P. spinosa) 
a hardy spiny bush of Europe, Persia, North Africa, and Siberia. 
This hybrid produces small, dark purplish, clingstone 
fruits with a touch of green, flattened in shape, and of a 
slightly astringent flavor resembling that of the damson. Of 
good keeping quality and suitable for jam. Reported reasonably 
hardy in North Dakota. On Lovell peach stocks.

32671. PRUNUS SPINOSA X DOMESTICA. Hybrid Plum. From Kozlov, 
Russia. Scions presented to F. N. Meyer, Agricultural Explorer, 
by its orginator, I. V. Mijurin, of Kozlov. A hybrid 
between the Green Reine Claude and the Sloe (P. spinosa). The 
fruits are of medium size, dark purple, and have a sweet 
flavor with aftertaste all their own. Inclined to be astringent. 
The trees are very productive and vigorous. Worthy of 
trial in our coldest regions. On Lovell peach stocks.

32673. PRUNUS SPINOSA X DOMESTICA. Hybrid plum. From Kozlov, 
Russia. Scions presented to F. N. Meyer, Agricultural Explorer, 
by its originator I. V. Mijurin. Fruits of medium 
size, freestone, greenish yellow, covered with a heavy bloom. 
Flesh firm; rather dry but of good flavor. Excellent for canning 
and shipping. A hybrid between the Green Reine Claude 
and the Sloe (P. spinosa). Worthy of trial in our coldest regions. 
On Lovell peach stocks.
