Car tea Papaya. 

 PAPAIA (fruit, male tree). 



The size, shape, foliage and general appearance of this tree, is 

 the same as that of the preceding variety. Its flowers appear on 

 long stems, are funnel-shape, and have five lobes. The male tree 

 sometimes produces fruit, and it is of large size and fine quality. 

 A good sample may be seen from the accompanying illustration. 



I know of no method whereby one can, by any selection of 

 seeds, produce with any degree of certainty, plants of either male 

 or female variety.
