CUDRANIA TRICUSPIDATA. 
Fruit of the Chinese Che tree, a near relative of the 
Osage orange, but with edible' fruits, shown in natural 
size in the photograph. This fruit was grown at the 
Berckman's Nursery. Augusta, Georgia, from introductions 
made by Mr. E. H. Wilson, of the Arnold Arboretum, from 
Central China, but the plant has also been recently found 
and sent in by Mr. Frank N. Meyer, Agricultural Explorer, 
from the province of Shantung, in northern China, which 
has a semi-arid climate with light frosts. The striking 
similarity between the fruit of thit. species and the Osage 
orange suggests the possibility of making a hybrid. Pho- 
tograph from fruit presented by Mr. P. J. Berckman's Nur- 
sery, Augusta, Ga.
