Часть 1 Часть 2 Часть 3
36. Гребенщик, или тамариск [5653. Tamarix sp. A very large specimen growing on a piece of Holy Land. Said to be over 200 years old! It is certainly the largest specimen I have seen in my wanderings and its age is certainly not under a century and perhaps even older. Burya-Lyang, Chinese Turkestan, December 8, 1910.]
37. Тополь белый [5634. Populus alba. The straight trunk of an imposing specimen of the white poplar, probably over 100 ft. tall. The trunk measured 25 ft. in circumfrence 5 ft. above the ground. The tree was surrounded on all sides by minor poplars and could not be taken satisfactorily in its entirety. Burya-Lyang, Chinese Turkestan. December 8, 1910.]
38. Туранга сизолистная [5639. Populus pruinosa. A tall, imposing specimen of a desert poplar, occurring on sandy, alkaline wastes. The wood is used very much the same as that of Populus diversifolia. Deserves to be tested as a lumber and fuel tree on sandy, alkaline wastes in the S.W. U.S. Near Yarkend, Chinese Turkestan. December 14, 1910.]
39. Лох узколистный [5622. Eleagnus angustifolia. A row of old, pollarded Oleaster trees, planted as a wind break between fields. Deserves to be given a real hard test in the arid sections of the United States. Near Yarkand, Chinese Turkestan. December 18, 1910.]
40. Тополь белый [5633. Populus alba. The trunk of an enormous white poplar, 25 ft. in circumference 4 ft. above the ground. Estimated to be about 250 years old. Notice the young, straight specimens of the pyramidal white poplar in the background. Yarkend, Chinese Turkestan. December 18, 1910.]
41. Тополь Болле (старые тополя и карагачи, растущие у могилы) [5626. Populus alba Bolleana. A grave planted with very old pyramid poplars and elms (Ulmus sp.); the larger trees are all close to the three centuries old. A well planted avenue of these poplars makes a most curious impression, in giving practically no shade as long as the trees are fairly young; they furnish excellent wind breaks however. Shagra near Yengihissar, Chinese Turkestan. December 23, 1910.]
42. Карагач [5645. Ulmus foliacea. An elm tree of a very peculiar shape; locally considered to have something to do with supernatural powers. Native Mohammedan guide standing on trunk, dressed all up in winter garb. Near Shagran, Chinese Turkestan. December 23, 1910.]
43. Карагач [5646. Ulmus foliacea. A very large elm tree standing near an old grave. The tree is, beyond question, close to the three centuries old, for elms grow slowly in Turkestan. Shagran, Chinese Turkestan. December 23, 1910.]
44. Бустан-Терек. Киргизское селение [5671. Turkestan. The Kirghiz settlement in the Pustan Terek, where we obtained a large hulless barley and various other things. Pustan Terek, Chinese Turkestan. December 28, 1910.]

46. Ель Шренка [5673. Picea Schrenkiana. A protected ravine facing north, where fine specimens of the Thian Shan spruce occur, probably the most southern limit for this particular conifer. The even, parallel running ridges are the work of the sheep. Pustan Terek, Chinese Turkestan. December 28, 1910.]
47. Кашгар. Пятничный базар [5679. Every Friday, there is a large market or bazar held in Kashgar and every Sunday a small one. This picture shows the Friday market. Cloth, skins, rice, flour, dried fruits, and in fact, all sorts of things are sold and resold. Kashgar, Chinese Turkestan. February 9, 1911.]
48. Кашгар. Пятничный базар. Рассказчик повествует о былой славе Туркестана [5680. The Friday bazar in Kashgar. A storyteller informs the crowd of former glories of Turkestan. The natives of Chinese Turkestan are known for their lying, lazy and cheating dispositions, combined with an intense ignorance. They are, however, not revengeful and murder is a very rare occurance. Kashgar, Chinese Turkestan. February 9, 1911.]
49. Экспедиционная повозка, запряженная мулами и лошадью [5681. Our large cart, with its three mules and a strong horse, and over 1000 lbs. of baggage trekking through a piece of sandy and alkaline desert. Near Ure-dalik, Chinese Turkestan. February 13, 1911.]

52. Туранга разнолистная [5689. Populus diversifolia. A closeby view of the trunk of a large old desert poplar. The bark of this poplar tends to become on old trees more or less shaggy and comes off in plates. Near Ure-dalik, Chinese Turkestan. February 14, 1911.]
53. Переводчик позирует у куста тамариска [5682. Tamarix sp. A Tamarisk bush of very spreading growth having long, slender branches of rose red color. This single bush by way of its long, partly creeping branches occupied more than 25 square meters of land. Near Tumchuk, Chinese Turkestan. February 18, 1911.]
54. Франк Мейер в зарослях тамариска [5683. Tamarix sp. In the Tamarisk jungle. On some places in the desert where the water was near the surface, we passed through veritable jungles of Tamarisk bushes. Sometimes they were up to 20 ft. tall and had stems 1/2 ft. in diameter. Near Tumchuk, Chinese Turkestan. February 18, 1911.]

59. Карагач [5675. Ulmus densa. A very large specimen of an ornamental elm tree called Seda. Scions of this same tree sent under No. 962. Aksu, Chinese Turkestan. February 25, 1911.]
60. Карагач [5676. Ulmus densa. A nearby view of the globular headed elm called Seda. The age of this specimen may be two centuries or a trifle over, for this variety is by no means a very rapid grower. Aksu, Chinese Turkestan. February 25, 1911.]
