MANGO MARTYNIA. 27 1 



Mango (Mangifera Indica). Anacardiace<z. 



Stocks are obtained by seeds. The seeds usually have 

 more than one embryo, sometimes as many as ten. Each 

 embryo will produce a distinct plant The embryos may 

 be separated before planting, but it is preferable to sep- 

 arate the young plantlets soon after germination, before 

 they grow together, as they are apt to do. The seeds 

 germinate better if the hard shell is removed before plant- 

 ing. Seeds retain their vitality but a few days, and if to 

 be shipped for sowing they should De enclosed in wax. 

 Seedlings begin to bear from the third to the sixth years.
