From Jamaica. Received through Prof. P. 



H. Rolfs, May 7, 1903. 



A collection of scions as follows: 



9700. Citrus aurantium. Tangerine. 



"A tangerine seedling, secured at Porus, Jamaica. An extra large variety, 

 nearly as large and equally as good flavored as the King, ripening earlier, and 

 of a much finer color." (Rolfs.) 



9701. Citrus aurantium. Tangerine. 



"A tangerine very similar to No. 9700, but ripening somewhat later." 

 (Rolfs.) 



9702. Citrus aurantium. , Navel tangerine. 



"Similar to No. 9700 in size, color, and general make-up of the fruit, but 

 being seedless and producing a small accessory orange, as in the case of the 

 Washington navel; otherwise being of the distinct tangerine type." (Rolfs.) 



9703. Mangifera indica. Mango. 



Alfoos. "This mango was introduced from India to Jamaica about fifteen 

 years ago, and is considered to be one of the finest of the East Indian varieties." 

 (Rolfs.) 



9704. Mangifera indica. Mango. 



Bombay. "The tree from which the scions were obtained was ripening 

 fruit in winter. The fruit weighed about three-fourths of a pound. Very 

 luscious and producing very little fiber. Altogether a superior mango." 

 (Rolfs.) 



Cuttings as follows: 



9705. Hibiscus sinensis. 



"A beautiful ornamental of unusual appearance, producing a rose-colored 

 flower." (Rolfs.)
