PRUNUS MICROCAEPA. WILD CHERRY. 
The tall, dark-colored shrub in the center of the picture, 
This shrubby, small-fruited cherry stands apparently great 
drought and may prove valuable as a stock for cherries in semi- 
arid regions of the United States. S.P.I. Nos. 27303, 27337, 
28946. (Meyer's photograph, Bachar-den, Turkestan, June 4, 1910.) 
PRUNUS PROSTRATA. BUSH- CHERRY . 
Two shrubs of this small-fruited cherry in full bloom. This 
shrub stands a great amount of cold and drought, and may prove 
valuable as a stock for cherries both in the semi-arid regions 
and the cold northwest of the United States. S.P.I. Nos. 28022, 
28945. (Meyer's photograph, Tiflis, Caucasus, April 25, 1910.)
