FRUIT OF THE GUAVA 



The Guava is a subtropical fruit that 

 has only recently been given attention 

 in California and in the Southern 

 States. It is chiefly known in temper- 

 ate 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 im- 

 proving the fruit., but now that it is 

 claiming the attention of the plant 

 developer, it will doubtless be greatly 

 modified. Unfortunately it is too 

 tender to be grown anywhere in the 

 United States except along the Pacific 

 Coast and about the Gulf.
