THE LARGE-FRUITED HAWTHORN OF GUATEMALA. 



(CRATAEGUS STIPULOSA STEUD.) 



In the markets of Guatemalan towns this Manzanilla is a common 

 fruit. It comes from the highlands, where it is extensively used 

 for the preparation of jams and jellies, for which purpose its deep 

 yellow, applelike fruits are admirably suited. The flavor of these 

 fruits resembles that of our own hawthorn, but is somewhat 

 better. This species ought to thrive in California and Florida.
