 good country kinds, Booree and Chchdeton Moora ; Mookh-Machee,

The Mango may be propagated readily enough from seed ; 

 but Mr. Ingledew, who seems to have had much experience in 

 the cultivation of this fruit in Mysore, maintains that 



" The produce of the seedling Mango is very uncertain, and less 

 to be depended upon than that of most other seedlings in the quality 

 of its fruit : and it is probable that not one in several thousands of 

 those trees will bear good fruit in ordinary situations." *
