Zlziphus jujuba. Dried Chinese Jujubes. 
The large round jujube or Ta-yuan-tsao from Pal hsiang 
chen, Shansi Province, China. (Hens' Eggs for comparison). 
The Tsao or Chinese jujube has proven hardy in the latitude 
of Washington and has borne good fruit in Texas and Cali- 
fornia. The discovery by Frank N. Meyer and the successful 
importation of cuttings of this unusually large fruited 
variety, S.P.I. No. 38243, cannot fail to have an effect 
upon the spread of jujube culture in this country. Photo- 
graph by Meyer, Feb. 14, 1914.
