A Basket of Fine Guatemalan Cherimoyas. (Annona cherimola Mill., 



S. P. I. No. 43927.) 



The cherimoya is recognized as one of the choicest fruits of the Tropics. It succeeds in southern 

 California and other subtropical regions where the climate is cool and dry. Superior varieties, 

 such as the one here shown, are not excelled in richness of flavor by the pineapple or the straw- 

 berry. They are now being introduced into this country by means of bud wood. (Photographed
