FOUR- YEAR-OLD FEIJOA BUSH AT TALLAHASSEE. 
(Feijoa sellowiana. See S. P. I. No. 39555.) 
The hardiness of this South American fruiting bush is something of a 
surprise. It promises to grow and fruit as far north as Alabama 
and Georgia. It appears to be cross-fertilized by birds, which are 
fond of the thick petals of the flowers. The large-fruited selected 
varieties of California deserve a trial in the Gulf States. (Pho- 
tographed by R. A. Young, on the place of Geo. B. Perkins, 
Tallahassee, Fla., August 12, 1916; P19859FS.)
