LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL 



Porto Rico Agricultural Experiment Station, 



Mayaguez, P. R., March SI, 1917. 

 Sir: I have the honor to submit herewith a manuscript on the Mango in 

 Porto Rico, by C. F. Kinman, horticulturist. The information embodied in this 

 report gives the results of painstaking efforts through several years to introduce 

 and propagate improved mangoes. These results indicate that the mango will 

 take an important place in the Porto Rican fruit industry, which has made 

 phenomenal progress during the past decade. I recommend that this manu- 

 script be issued as Bulletin No. 24 of this station. 

 Respectfully, 



D. W. Mat, 

 Agronomist in Charge. 

 Dr. A. C. True, 



Director States Relations Service, 



United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. 0,
