COLD RESISTANCE OF A HYBRID ANONA. 
(Annona squamosa on Annona cherimola, Miami Garden No. 1803-B.) 
The freeze of February 3, 1917, when the temperature fell to 26.5 ? F. at the station at Miami, Fla., killed 
the leaves on all the anona trees in the garden and 'killed back to 1-inch wood many of the large 
trees. The trees of this hybrid between the sugar-apple and the cherimoya, while they lost 
their leaves, began at once to form new leaves and later numerous flower buds, and it is expected 
that a small crop of fruit will be produced. The photograph shows the hand of Mr. Edward 
Simmonds, who produced the hybrid, holding a branch from Which all the old leaves have fallen 
and on which the new leaves have begun to start. (Photographed twenty days after the freeze 
by David Fairchild; P20443FS.)
