Fruit of the Guava 
The Guava is a sub-tropical fruit that has only recently 
been given attention in California, and in our southern states. 
It is chiefly known in temperate climates as the producer of a very 
admirable jelly of unusual piquancy and unique quality. Very little 
has been done hitherto in the way of improving the fruit, but 
now that it is claiming the attention of the plant devel- 
oper, it will doubtless be greatly modified. Unfor- 
tunately it is too tender to be grown anywhere 
in the United States except along the 
Pacific Coast and about the Gulf.
