A rapid-growing, evergreen species forming spreading bushes or small trees. The 
leaflike phyllodes vary from 1 - 3 inches, generally smaller than the type. The 
flowers are yellow, in short axillary spikes. It is said to be excellent for plant-

altitude of 2,300 feet. A leguminous shrub in general habit like a genista with 
crowded branches and leaves. The yellow flowers are numerous, in compact terminal

27336. AMYGDALUS FENZLIANA. From Tiflis, Caucasus, Russia. A low, shrubby almond, 
more or less spiny, which produces an abundance of white flowers early in the spring. 
It is a native of semi-arid regions in the Caucasus, and may be of value as a stock 
for the southwest. (Chico, Calif.) 
32374. AMYGDALUS PERSICA. Peach. This variety originated at the Government Ex-— 
periment Farm, San Antonio, Texas, among a lot of plants grown from seeds obtained 
in Mexico by G. Onderdonk. It is a medium-sized clingstone fruit, with golden yellow 
flesh, firm, sweet, of good texture and unusually fine flavor. Promising for home 
canning purposes. At Chico, California, it matures in late August; at San Antonio, 
Texas, about the first of September. (Chico, Calif.) 
41395. AMYGDALUS PERSICA. Dwarf Peach. From Kiayingchau, Kwantung, China. Seeds 
presented by George Campbell. A dwarf, evergreen, ornamental Chinese peach with 
showy flowers, grown in its native land as a house plant. At the Plant Introduction 
arden, Chico, California, a tree of this variety is about 7 feet high, with a spread 
of 10 feet, and with deep-green, heavy, compact evergreen foliage. The small, white 
clingstone fruits, sometimes colored on the sunny side, about 2 inches in diameter, 
are fragrant, with firm, acid, greenish white flesh, stained dark red near the pit 
and insipid in flavor. Ripening season at Chico, early September. (Chico, Calif.)

H. R. Wright. An elongated oval, freestone peach, about 23 inches in length, with 
yellow, red-mottled skin, and firm, lemon-yellow, mildly acid flesh of good quality. 
The pit is pink, staining the flesh slightly. In California this variety ripens 
about the middle of July; in Georgia and Connecticut it ripens 10 days ahead of 
Elberta. It has promise for home use, and also for drying and shipping. (Chico, 
Calif.) 
43129. AMYGDALUS PERSICA. Late Champion Peach. From New Zealand. Plants presented 
by H. R. Wright. This late-maturing freestone peach appears to thrive as far north 
as New Jersey and southern Michigan, in Oklahoma, and also in California. The tree 
is large and vigorous, and bears a good crop of roundish fruit about 2} inches in 
diameter. The skin is yellow, tinged with red, and the golden-yellow flesh is sweet, 
spicy, and of good texture. The pit is small and pink. At Chico, California, it ma- 
tures early in October; it is of promise as a late dessert peach, and should be good 
for shipping and canning. (Chico, Calif.)
