The Guabiyu, an Excellent Fruit Related to the Guava. (Eugenia 

 pungens Berg., S. P. I. No. 47987.) 



The guabiyu is a Paraguayan shrub, is sufficiently hardy to grow out of doors in California 

 and Florida, and is of attractive appearance. Its purplish black fruits, generally produced 

 in pairs, are very juicy and of pleasant subacid flavor. Very few of the little-known myrtace- 

 ous fruits are of such good quality as this. (Photographed by E. L. Crandall, from fruits 

 sent in by P. D. Barnhart, Sawtelle, Calif., October 16, 1917; P20878FS.)
