Fru.t \3 Branches of the Che Tree :Cudrania tricuspidata Carr. Bureau . 

 (S. P. I. No. 35258.) Slightly Less than Natural Size. 



Unlike the Osage orange ( Toxylon p<jin(/t runi or Madura aurantiaca), to which this is related, 

 its pink fruits are edible and though not of good quality are keenly relished by stock. The 

 plant is spiny and can be used for hedges, and being smaller may prove to have an advan- 

 tage over the Osage orange for garden-hedge purposes. A hybrid between it and the Osage 

 orange has already been produced. It appears to be hardV as far north as Washington.
