THE MANGO. 



The mango is a delicious fruit, almost unknown on the Main- 

 land. There are some forty or fifty varieties in Hawaii. TIic 

 tree requires rich soil and a medium amount of irrigation. It can 

 be propagated from seed, in which case there is no surety that it 

 will come true to seed and, also, by grafting, budding and inarch- 

 ing. The fruit ships well in cold storage, retaining its flavor 

 and ripening its color, as well as do the deciduous fruits packed 

 and shipped under similar conditions. Tlie Mainland market 

 is capable of development and will undoubtedly in time absorb 

 large quantities of this king of tropical fruits. — Jarcd Smith.
