A CHERIMOYA SUGAR APPLE HYBRID I Annona cherimola X A. squamosa). 



In an attempt to combine the good qualities of the Cherimoya and the Sugar Apple 

 Mr. Edward Simmonds has succeeded in producing a hybrid between those two species. 

 The tree shown in the illustration is one of these hybrids. It has already borne a number 

 of fruits of most excellent quality and appearance. The fruit appears to be intermediate 

 between the two species, and the tree shows an unusual yigor as is common in many 

 hybrids. There are many species of Annona and this hybrid indicates the possibility 

 of mingling them into superlative hybrid varieties. For this purpose a collection of 

 Annona species has been assembled at the Miami Field Station. Photograph (P16155FS)
