Fruit of the Guava 



The Guava is a sub-tropical fruit that has only recently 

 been given attention in California, and in our southern states. 

 It is chiefly known in temperate 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 improving the fruit, but 

 now that it is claiming the attention of the plant devel- 

 oper, it will doubtless be greatly modified. Unfor- 

 tunately it is too tender to be grown anywhere 

 in the United States except along the 

 Pacific Coast and about the Gulf.
