INTRODUCING LITCHI TREE (LITCHI CHINENSIS) IN BLOOM IN CUBA.

A budded tree propagated in teh department greenhouses and sent to Mr. James Holmes at Herradura, Cuba in January, 1911.  The budwood was taken
from a tree sent in from Hsinghua, Fukien, China, by Rev. William N. Brewster.  When four years old from the bud, in 1915, it produced a few fruits.
Recently trees at Tampa and Oneco, Fla., have borne excellent fruit.  Photographed (P16670FS) February 21, 1916.
