THE FUYU KAKI. 
(Diospyros kaki L. f. ; S. P. I. No. 26491.) 
Fuyu is one of the most promising varieties of kaki or Japanese persimmon which has been intro- 
duced by the Department of Agriculture. It has a rich, sweet, crisp flesh that is never astringent; 
can be picked, shipped, and eaten while firm and hard like an apple; has a somewhat flattened 
tomato shape that makes it desirable for. shipping; can be grown wherever the other varieties of 
kaki succeed, and produces good crops. (Photographed by P. H. Dorsett at the Plant Introduc- 
tion Garden, Chico, Calif., October 19, 1922; P28327FS.)
