BULLETIN OF FOREIGN PLANT INTRODUCTIONS . 
January 16 to 31, 1910. 
NEW PLANT IMMIGRANTS. 
AMYGDALUS DAVID I ANA . 26604. Prom Tientsin, China. Procured 
thru Mr. Hamilton Butler. Mr. Meyer in describing a 
previous introduction of this plant says: "Very resistant 
to droughts and alkali. The Chinese use this tree as a 
grafting stock for their flowering peaches and prunes; also 
for small hush-cherries and apricots." 
AMYGDALUS PERSICA. 26593. Presented Toy Mr. Win. W. Masterson, 
Consul, Harput, Turkey. This peach is rather large, has 
an excellent flavor, with the ordinary stone and the usual 
shape of a peach, "but it has a smooth, tough skin of a 
mottled red and green color like an apple, without the 
slightest sign of fuzz. It is a little larger than the 
average shipping peach of America, grows on the same kind 
of a tree, and is not a "budded or hybrid fruit, hut grown 
from seed." (Masterson.) Doubtless a nectarine. For dis- 
tribution later. 
AMYGDALUS. 26543. Prom mountainous regions of Algeria, 
height about 3300 feet. Presented by Dr. Trabut . "A wild 
form of tolerably large size, robust and. very resistant t6 
drought; would be a good stock." (Trabut.) For distri- 
bution later. 
ANDR0P0G0N CARICOSUS. 26581. Prom Antigua, Leeward Islands. 
Presented by Mr. S. Jackson. "Hay grass. This is an East 
Indian grass and is found only in Antigua in the West In- 
dies. The history of its introduction is obscure. It is 
readily established and. once this is done, takes possession 
of the land to the exclusion of other grasses. It grows 
on flat pasture areas and when cut at the right time makes 
excellent hay ■. " (Agricultural News, May 1, 1909.) 
AN ON A CHERIMOLA . 26603. Presented by Mr . CP. Taf t , Orange,
