THE BRAZILIAN GRUMICHAMA AFTER THE HEAVY FREEZE AT 

 BUENA VISTA, FLA. (EUGENIA DOMBEYI. SEE S. P. I. NO. 37836.) 



Brought from the Hainan region of southern Bra/il by Dorsett 

 and Popenoe, where the jaboticaba is at liome, and withstand- 

 ing a temperature of 26 F., this Brazilian fruit tree promises 

 to be a success in southern Florida. Its agreeable fruits, 

 combined with its hardiness, entitle it to a wide trial. (Pho- 

 tographed by Mr. David Fairchild at Buena Vista, Fla., 

 February 3, 1917; P20396FS.)
