From Acapulco, Mexico. Presented by Mr. Marion Letcher, American consul. 

 Received November 29, 1910. 



"This fruit is sold in season in this market, but is not grown in this immediate 

 locality, being brought from the mountain section of the State. As to the quality of 

 the fruit, I have to say that in my opinion it is inferior in flavor to its congener (may- 

 pop) of the cotton fields of the Southern States. The Mexican fruit has the advantage 

 in size and in having smaller seeds. The local name for the fruit is granada china. I 

 should judge from the name that it was introduced from China in the earlier days and 

 is not an indigenous fruit, as supposed." (Letcher.)
