of the remarkable landscape trees of China. 
The difficulty in getting seeds of the jujuhe for 
stock purposes in this country makes it an economical 
thing to import 1,000 pounds of seed of the hest jujuhe 
used for stock in China. 
The Ghoorma persimmon ( Dios-pyros lotus) has shomi 
itself superior to the native Virginia persimmon as a 
stock for the Japanese and Chinese kaki in the southwest, 
and we need considerable quantities of seed on which to 
propagate the new Chinese varieties of this promising 
fruit. 
There is probably a place for the Chinese hardy walnut 
in our nut culture, since it has proved hardy in Idaho, 
and 300 or so pounds of nuts of this Chinese variety will 
give it a fair trial on the northern edge of the walnut 
sections. We have never had enough trees to give it a 
trial in comparison with the hardy forms now grown in 
Pennsylvania and New York. 
The striking beauty of the white-barked pine and the 
fact which has been established that it will grow and 
thrive in the United States, combined with its long-lived 
character, make it highly desirable to have a large quan- 
tity of seed of it collected and many hundreds of trees 
distributed to parks, cemeteries and private places.
