Chinese Wild Peach Tree {Amygclalus 

 davidiana) at Ames, Iowa, after a Janu- 

 ary temperature of -35 F. had killed to 

 the ground the Hills Chili peach trees 

 around it. In Texas and Southern Cali- 

 fornia it has proven a very drought re- 

 sistant stock, while in the irrigated 

 desert region of California it gives 

 promise of being a very early stock.
