From Bangkok, Siam. Secured by Dr. G. B. McFarland, and imported by Rev. 

 G. R. Callender, at the request of Messrs. Lathrop and Fairchild. Received 

 ■ September 11, 1902. 



"A seedless variety, or possibly three different varieties of pomelo, from the garden 

 of Prince Mom Chow Rachawongse, of the lineage of the former Second King. Tlie 

 seedless pomelos, sold on the Hongkong market, which are supposed to be produced 

 by trees of this variety, are the best pomelos in the Orient. The ' ' seedless Bangkok ' ' 

 was the sort requested by us. The circumstances connected with the introduction of 

 these pomelo plants, many months after Messrs. Lathrop and Fairchild visited Siam, 

 were such that it is not possible to say definitely whether one sinjile variety of the 

 "Bangkok seedless" was represented by the three plants brought in, or whether the 

 Prince sent one plant each of three kinds." ( Fairchild. )
