Onderdonk states that this race (figs. 8c, 11) is called Spanish because its history can not be traced to a certaint}" farther than Spain. It appears to have been introduced from Spain to Mexico about two hundred and seventy years ago by the Catholic missionaries. It is adapted for culture north of the regions in which the South China race flourishes. It is generally believed in the Southern States that seedlings are surer bearers than budded fruit.

NORTH CHINA RACE. The name "Chinese Cling Group" is believed by G. H. Powell to be more exact than "Northern Chinese Race," by which this group is quite generally known (figs. 8d, 12).
