The Green Sapote, A Rare Tropical Fruit. (Achradelpha viridis (Pittier) 



O. F. Cook. S. P. I. No. 43439.) 



The green sapote, or injerto, is found in the Guatemalan highlands. It is much superior in quality 

 to its relative, the sapote ormamey sapote {Achradelpha mammosa). The fruits have orange-brow-n 

 flesh inclosing one or two large seeds; the sweet, rich flavor resembles that of the sapodilla. The 

 tree will probably succeed in Florida and will certainly grow in Porto Rico, Hawaii and the 

 Philippines. (Pliotographed by Wilson Popenoe, Apr. 2, 1917, at San Cristobal, Alta V^era Paz, 

 Guatemala; P17192FS.)
