A TROPICAL RIVAL OF THE CHERRY 
Cherries fail to grow well in the tropics, but Brazil has a fruit which might largely 
take their place. This is the pitanga, a member of the Myrtle family, whose 
beautiful red berries possess an aromatic pungency almost unknown in the fruits 
of cooler climates. Photograph of fruit grown at Miami, Fla., natural size.
