Photograph, of an orchard of the famous Pei or Peitcheng 
Peach taken by Mr. Prank N. Meyer at Peitcheng, Shantung, 
China, September 1, 1907. Scions were collected "by Mr. Meyer 
from the trees in this orchard, hut owing to the long voyage 
to America they arrived dead. Prom seeds secured, however, a 
plant is now growing in the Chico Gardens (see photograph 
on next sheet) and a large number of budded plants will be 
ready for distribution to experimenters when this seedling 
has fruited and shown its value.
