New Plant Introductions, 1916-17. 



The Kizilalma Apple of Khotan (Malus sp.), S. P. I, No. 30327. 



The leaves, the fruit (outside and in), the seeds, and the wood of the young twigs of this strange 

 apple from Khotan, Chinese Turkestan, are tinged with red; and, although the fruit is some- 

 what insipid in flavor, it seems worthy of the attention of apple breeders, on account of its extreme 

 earliness, ripening in May. It has been suggested as a stock. Photographed (P19662FS) at 

 Chico, Cal., May 18, 1916. (Natural size.)
