An Old Mango Tree at Alto Da Santo Antonio, Itaparica, Brazil. 



Although a native of Asia the Mango (Mangifera indict 

 was introduced into South America so early that giant 

 trees of it are often found there. Few fruit trees reach 

 a larger size and bear fruit longer than the mango. The 

 illustration is of a seedling tree but very old grafted 

 trees occur in India and certain of the Philippine vari- 

 eties of delicious quality come true to seed. Photo No.
