Morus alba (Moraceae), 27048. White mulberry. Prom 
Orleans, Prance. "The French mulberry which you sent 
to me five years ago has developed magnificently and 
bears enormous crops of berries which we find delight- 
ful for fruit punches." (James P. Cooke, Philadelphia, 
Pa. , June 14, 1922. ) 
Prunus armeniaea (Amygdalaceae) , 17154. Apricot. Prom 
near Changli, Chihll, China. "A very upright vigorous 
tree which matures its fruits about July 10. The me- 
dium-sized fruits have a dark orange-yellow skin nearly 
covered with a bright-crimson blush. The small pit is 
not entirely free; the flesh is firm and keeps well 
after picking. I consider this superior to any other 
apricot known, except for size of fruit." (H. E. Har- 
rison, East White Bluffs, Wash., July 17, 1922.) 
Prunus tomentosa (Amygdalaceae), 38856. Cherry. From 
Peking, China. "We consider this a very fine cherry; 
the bushes are loaded with excellent fruit, which we 
use for making sauce and jelly." (Harlow Rockhill, 
Conrad, Iowa, July 1, 1922.)
