FRUIT OF A CHILEAN 

 MYRTLE 



This is another of the almost number- 

 less tropical species with which we have 

 experimented to develop new types of 

 orchard and garden fruits. The berry 

 of this Chilean myrtle has a pleasant 

 odor and taste, and there is sufficient 

 variation to suggest the possibility of 

 improvement through selective breed- 

 ing. It may prove possible, also, to 

 cross the plant with other myrtles, 

 stimulating variation and giving 

 further opportunity for selection. 

 {One-third life size.)
