 tural explorers, near Keijo, Chosen. A handsome Japanese tree up to 90 feet high, 

 vith a short trunk dividing into many upright spreading branches and forming a broad 

 ^ound»topped head much like an elm. The sharply serrate leaves are ovate and are

22684. ZIZIPHUS JUJU3A. Mu shing hong Jujube. From Tsintse, Shansi, China. Ob- 

 tained by the late Frank N. Meyer, agricultural explorer. Bureau of Plant Industry. 

 The fruits of this variety are ellipsoid, somewhat flattened ax the end, and of large 

 size, sometimes as much as 1-1 inches broad- The stone is medium to large, and sharply 

 pointed. Sometimes the bony portion of the stone does not harden, thus giving rise 

 tc what are termed seedless fruits. While trees of this variety do not bear as heavily 

 as do those of some other sorts, the fruits have a high sugar content. An excellent 

 jujube with shapely fruits which process well. This and succeeding varieties for 

 trial especially in semi-arid regions of the southwest. (Chico, Calif.) 



22686. ZIZIPHUS JUJUBA. Lang Jujube. From Tsintse, Shansi, China. Obtained by 

 the late Fran* N. Meyer, agricultural explorer. The fruits are obovoid to pear- 

 shaped, sometimes oblique, of large size, often as much as an inch and a half in 

 greatest diameter. The stone is ellipsoid, medium-sized, tapering to one end which 

 terminates in a sharp spine. This variety is a heavy bearer and the fruits have a 

 high sugar content. Undoubtedly it is one of the best sorts yet tested in the United 

 States. (Chico, Calif.)
