THREE -YEAR-OLD TUNG OIL TREE AT TALLAHASSEE, FLA, 
A young tree, planted Jan. 7, 1913 as a one year 
seedling, in the experimental plantation of Dr. Tennent 
Ronalds. In 1914, in its third year from seed, it bore 17 
fruits, and the next year its fourth, it bore 107 fruits. 
Records are being kept of the yields of the individual 
tung trees in this plantation to discover if some trees do 
not yield more regularly and heavily than others. If es- 
pecially productive strains are found, it will doubtless 
be possible to top-work the grove with budwood from the 
productive individuals and to use the latter for general 
propagation purposes. Photographed by David Fairchild, 
January 31, 1915, at Tallahassee, Fla. No. 15585.
