   "This 
  fruit 
  is 
  sold 
  in 
  season 
  in 
  this 
  market, 
  but 
  is 
  not 
  grown 
  in 
  this 
  immediate 
  

   locality, 
  being 
  brought 
  from 
  the 
  mountain 
  section 
  of 
  the 
  State. 
  As 
  to 
  the 
  quality 
  of 
  

   the 
  fruit, 
  I 
  have 
  to 
  say 
  that 
  in 
  my 
  opinion 
  it 
  is 
  inferior 
  in 
  flavor 
  to 
  its 
  congener 
  (may- 
  

   pop) 
  of 
  the 
  cotton 
  fields 
  of 
  the 
  Southern 
  States. 
  The 
  Mexican 
  fruit 
  has 
  the 
  advantage 
  

   in 
  size 
  and 
  in 
  having 
  smaller 
  seeds. 
  The 
  local 
  name 
  for 
  the 
  fruit 
  is 
  granada 
  china. 
  I 
  

   should 
  judge 
  from 
  the 
  name 
  that 
  it 
  was 
  introduced 
  from 
  China 
  in 
  the 
  earlier 
  days 
  and 
  

   is 
  not 
  an 
  indigenous 
  fruit, 
  as 
  supposed."
