ZEA MAYS (Poaceae) , .06862-56865, 56867. . Corn. From Krizevac, 
Croatia, Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovennes. Seeds presented

56862. '"Krizevacka okrugla Hrvatica' ('Croatian Maid of Krize- 
vac?), grown at the college for many years. A very good and fruitful 
sort which ripens early and flourishes even in colder parts.!' 
56663. "'Rumski zlatni zuban' (Gold-kernel corn of Ruma: a town 
in Syrmia), has been grown at the college for many years. It is a 
late very prolific kind that does not always ripen with certainty in 
Krizevac, but in the lowlands along the Danube, Sava and Theiss Rivers, 
where the climate is somewhat like that of the steppes, with very hot 
summers , it ripens well," 
56864. " 'Krivacki hangar i '* ( 'Krizevac warrior'). Grown at the 
college for many years. It is an especially early kind, perhaps the 
earliest known. It originated in the Bosnian Mountains. It can be 
sown also in high mountain regions, and in upper Croatia it is sown 
after the field has been cleared of the winter barley, and ripens 
regularly." 
56865. '"Krizevacki Pignoletto.' This has been grown at the 
college for many years. It is an early sort with tiny grains, very 
suitable and popular for human consumption. Has been grown a long 
time in Krizevac. " 
56867. "'Hercegovacki' ( 'Herzegovinian' ) from the mountains of 
Herzegovina, where the ground is stony, the winters severe, and the 
summers hot and dry, a climate which is very unfavorable for corn. 
This variety is grown by the peasants."

amygdalus PERSICA (Amygdalaceae ) , 33219. Peach. "Vainqueur." 
From Granada, Spain. 
"In February, 1918 r I received two peach trees, which I planted 
in deep gravelly loam, which is irrigated once every season, just af- 
ter the crop is harvested. One of these trees has borne regularly the 
past three years as much fruit as it could hold without propping. The 
fruits average 4£ ounces in weight, and are light green, with a red 
cheek on the exposed side. The flesh is white, very juicy, and of ex- 
cellent flavor. Although a clingstone, with sufficient pressure the 
flesh separates from the stone, and when fully ripe the skin is easily 
removed. This season we picked the first peaches on June 1." (George 
B. Shaffer, Sunland, Calif., June 17, 1923.)
