the top, but promising to be a success there. He also 
found this plant doing remarkably well under extremely 
trying climatic and soil conditions at Fallon, Nevada. Mr. 
Headley desires as many plants of this ash as he can get. 
Macadamia temifolia has fruited out on the campus at 
Berkeley, California, and at the Miami, Florida, Plant In- 
troduction Field Station. This shows the range which can 
be expected of this interesting introduction. 
Populus suaveolens (No. 22363) sent to Mr. F. B. Head- 
ley , Superintendent , Truckee-Carson Experiment Farm, Fal- 
lon, Nevada, leaves out two weeks earlier than any other 
Populus that he has. A three-year old tree in his pos- 
session is 20 feet tall. 
Pyrus sp. (No. 26485) A popular pear in Chinese 
markets described as being of medium size, shaped like the 
American Bartlett, of yellowish white color, with rather 
coarse flesh and good keeping quality, has* proven very re- 
sistant to drying winds and drought at our Introduction 
Field Station at Chico, California, and is recommended for 
trial in North and South Dakota. 
Xllmus glabra suberosa (No. 34805). An elm purchased 
from Mr. A. Woeikoff by Mr. F. N. Meyer, which seems to be 
making excellent growth at the Northern Great Plains Field 
Station, Mandan, North Dakota. From its more spreading 
habit and more proliferous branching, it promises to be 
better adapted for shelter planting than even Ulmus pwmila. 
Ziziphus jujuba. (No. 22683) Bottle jujube from Shansi, 
China. Mr. F. L. Ramsey of the Austin Nursery Company, 
Austin, Texas, sent in ripe fruits of this number for three 
consecutive years. Many of the fruits are as large as 
full-sized commercial dates.
