The Mountain Papaya in Full Bearing. fiCARicA candamarcensis 



Hook, f.; S. P. I. No. 51389.) 



A few trees of this species have been grown in California, and Mr. Popenoe believes that it is 

 worth establishing in that State.' The tree is hardier Ihan the papaya and may serve as a 

 factor in breeding hardier strains of that delicious fruit. The deep-yellow or orange fniits of 

 the mountain papaya are about the size of a large lemon and are very aromatic; cooked in sirup, 

 they make an excellent dulce. (Photographed by Wilson Popenoe, Nemocon, Colombia.
