Japanese apricot plants grown at the Plant Introduction 
Field -Station, Chico, California, from scions pre- 
sented by Mr. David Fairchild from his place "In the 
Woods". "Var. Oteno. The 'Japanese Flowering Plum' is 
really an apricot. The picturesque form of the tree, 
its extremely fragrant blossoms and their beauty com- 
bined with the fact that it is one of the earliest of 
all trees to bloom, often so early that snow falls' on 
the blooms, have made it the favorite of Japanese 
poets. It is hardy in the Atlantic coast states and 
even though its blossoms often get killed by frost it 
is worthy of extensive trial. Its fruits are sour and 
remind one of the American wild plum in flavor. They 
form, when pickled, an important part of the Japanese 
army ration." (Fairchild.)
