"Another Ghoorma persimmon, Diospyros lotus , on which a 
kaki variety has been grafted, growing at the very edge of 
a loess plantation." In China the Oriental persimmon or 
kaki (Diospyros kaki) is generally grafted upon another spe- 
cies of persimmon called the Ghoorma (Diospyros lotus). The 
illustration shows one of these grafted trees growing on 
the very edge of one of the peculiar perpendicular walls 
of a ravine through the loess soil occurring commonly in 
the Honan Province. This stock should be tested on the 
loess soils of the United States. Photo No. A 32, by
