Amlni , introduced from Bangalore, India, under S.P.I. 

 No. 7104. through Dr. A. Lehmann, has proved to be one of 

 the most attractive mangos grown in Florida. Its small 

 size may be somewhat against it as a market fruit, but its 

 unusually bright color, -deep yellow with a scarlet cheek, - 

 makes it strikingly attractive , while its strong, spicy aroma 

 is not equalled by that of any other variety grown in 

 Florida. In flavor it is very spicy and aromatic, and the 

 flesh is free from fiber. Its bearing habits have not been 

 thoroughly determined as yet, but it seems likely to prove 

 moderately productive, and worthy of general planting. 



The Cambodiana race of seedling mangos which has been 

 disseminated in south, Florida arose from two shipments of 

 seeds, S.P.I. No. 8701, secured by Lathrop and Fairchild In 

 Saigon in 1902, and 11645, secured through the late Director 

 Haffner of the Botanic Gardens there. This is a race which 

 comes practically true from seed, and the fruit is of very 

 good quality. -A seedling in the Plant Introduction Garden 

 at Miami, S.P.I. No. 11645, has proved to be unusually pro- 

 lific and regular in fruiting, and has recently been prop- 

 agated by budding. This race, which is in many ways quite 

 distinct from all of the Indian mangos, has shown itself 

 more productive than any of the Indian mangos yet fruited 

 in Florida, and seems likely to take a prominent place in 

 the future. 



D'Or, S.P.I. No. 28085, introduced by Mr. F. Evans, 

 of the Botanic Department of Trinidad, is a West Indian 

 variety which has proved of value. While the fruit is not 

 so richly flavored as the bes't Indian varieties, it is of 

 good qualitv, and the tree has the valuable habit of com- 

 mencing to bear when very small, and producing heavily. 

 Plants growing in 8-inch pots have fruited at the Miami 

 Plant Introduction Garden. This variety is now being prop- 

 agated commercially by nurserymen. 



Gola Alphonse, S.P.I. No. 29506, purchased from Mr. 

 Wm. Burns, of Poona, India, came into bearing at the Miami 

 Plant Introduction Garden last season, and proved to be a 

 very late variety. The fruit had remarkable keeping qual- 

 ities, but is not very attractive in color. Inasmuch as 

 late mangos are at present very scarce, this variety may 

 become of considerable value. In quality it seems about 

 equal to Bennett. 



Sandersha, S.P.I. No. 7108, secured through Dr. A. 

 Lehmann, of Bangalore, India, has become one of the best 

 known Indian varieties in Florida, and has also been prop- 

 agated rather extensively in Cuba and the Isle of Pines. 

 It has no superior among the Indian varieties in produc- 

 tiveness and regularity of bearing, but is not looked upon
