at the Plant Introduction Station, at Yarrow, Md . , are at 

 present about 12 feet high, nearly cylindrical in shape 

 and only about 18 inches in diameter. The dense foliage is 

 of a glaucous, green color. This is one of the best of the 

 junipers of recent introduction- and promises to be an or- 

 namental of very considerable value. This tree is now be- 

 ing grown by several nurseries, namely: Bobbink & Atkins, 

 Rutherford, N. J.; Cottage Gardens Co., Queens, N. Y. ; and 

 Andorra Nurseries, Chestnut Hill, Pa. It will probably be 

 offered for sale by them in a short time. 



Mangifera indica. 8730. Paheri Mango. From Bombay, 

 India. Received through Messrs. Lathrop and Fairchild. An 

 oval, plump fruit, weighing about 10 ounces; of dull yel- 

 low color, blush red around the base. The flesh is orange, 

 nearly free from fibre, and of very rich, spicy flavor. 

 Some authorities consider it the best flavored mango of 

 Bombay. This mango is showing considerable promise at the 

 Plant Introduction Station at Miami, from whence splendid 

 fruits have been sent to this office. 



Mangifera indica. 11645. Cambodiana Mango. From Mr. 

 M. E. Haffner, Saigon, Cochin China. A long, compressed, 

 beaked fruit, about 8 ounces in weight and deep yellow in 

 color. This office has received from the Plant Intro- 

 duction Garden, at Miami, fruits of this excellent Indian 

 mango, which is said to be more productive than most other 

 Indian varieties. These fruits were of the finest quality. 

 Owing to the free-fruiting habit of the tree, it promises 

 to be one of the best mangoes for Florida.
