Sheng. This variety was brought in years ago 
by Meyer, the fearless early plant explorer, 
who traveled along into the interior of China. 
It was not released by the government until 
recently. When we visited the Chico experi' 
ment station we found this much earlier than 
any other variety and that the employees fav' 
ored this variety over others to eat. The fruit 
is small, between two to three inches in diam' 
eter at best. We wished to name it Meyer but 
the government wished to keep the name 
Sheng or I Sheng, meaning ‘early.’ Meyer 
later went into the interior of China and dis' 
appeared. Senator McNary helped us to get 
the variety released and we believe the tree 
at Chico has since been destroyed.
