April 16 to 23, 1910. 
NEW PLANT IMMIGRANTS . 
ALLIUM CEPA. 27663. Prom Tiflis, Caucasus. A many headed 
variety of native Caucasian onion. The curiosity about this 
onion is that the seeds are sown out in the fall in "beds or 
in rows and the young plants left over winter in the open; 
during the following summer they make a strong growth and 
produce often 5 or 6 onions in a cluster. (Meyer's intro- 
duction. ) 
AMBELANIA SP. 27577. Prom Para, Brazil. Presented "by Mr. Walter 
Fischer. "This is Called here 'Pepo do mato 1 , i. e. 'cucumber 
of the woods'. It is a yellow fruit about the size and shape 
of a small cacao fruit. It contains 2 seed cavities sur- 
rounded by a white flesh of rather firm consistency contain- 
ing an abundant supply of latex. It is not a fruit that I 
could recommend very highly. I have not been able to eat 
it, although it is eaten "by the natives." (Fischer.) For 
distribution later. 
AMYGDALUS FENZLIANA. 27336. Seeds from Tiflis, Caucasus, Russia. 
Plants sent tinder No. 27302. A shrubby, ornamental almond 
flowering in early spring, with white flowers. Grows in semi- 
arid sections in Eastern Caucasus. Suggested as stock for 
almonds and other stone fruits. (Meyer's introduction.) 
ANDROPOGON SORGHUM. 27764. From Scott City, Kansas. Purchased 
from Mr. J. K. Freed. Mr. Freed states that he has grown this 
variety for 3 or 4 years, but its origin is unknown to him. 
He finds it ten days earlier than ordinary Amber sorgo but 
plants a little more seed to the acre. It yields fully 50 
per cent more than ordinary Amber. (For experimental planting 
at Chillicothe, Texas.) 
ANONA SP. 27567. From Chile. Presented by Mr. Hervey Gulick. 
"Seeds from a tree that I have not seen. The fruit is pear- 
shaped and the size of a large orange, occasionally reaching 
6 inches in diameter. The flavor is a little pitchy or piney 
but very good. Should be suitable for central California." 
(Gulick.)
