The. Yang Taw vine (Actinidia chinensis) bearing a single 
immature fruit; the first to be produced in America. 
The vine was trained over the porch of a private 
house at Chico, California, and produced a number of fruits. 
When trained high allowing only a single stem to grow 
and form a trunk and the leafy branches to spread out over 
a pergola this rank growing vine produces a very satisfac- 
tory shade. 
This fruit never reached maturity, so that at pre- 
sent, we are unable to corroborate the statements of trav- 
ellers in China who claim the fruit is of considerable 
value for jams and preserves. Photograph by R. L. Beagles,
