A FLORIDA GROWN FOSTER GRAPEFRUIT TREE 
This variety is a sport from the Walters variety and its fruit is identical with that of the 
latter except in the color of flesh, which is slightly pink near the skin. 
in an experimental way from this 
branch, but-no trees grown from such 
buds have come into fruiting as yet. In 
this instance there was but faint trace 
of the pink color in the flesh anywhere 
except near the rind. On the outside of 
the rind the pink color was rather con- 
spicuous, so much so, in fact, as to un- 
mistakably mark the fruit. Fig. 5 
shows a typical fruit of the California 
grown pink-flesh Marsh grapefruit 
sport.

fruit varieties originating from bud 
sports have been reported. Additional 
data concerning them is being collected 
as opportunity permits. The writer 
would appreciate any further facts con- 
cerning this phenomenon, for the pur- 
pose of completing the evidence as to 
the origin of other varieties of the 
citrus bearing pink-flesh, red, ruby or 
other strikingly different colored fruit 
from that of the established varieties 
bearing fruit possessing the normal 
color of flesh and rind.
