102456. Bombay mango. No. 3052. From 

 Kingston, Jamaica, March 11, 1933. 

 This is the most prolific of all the East 

 Indian mangoes that have been te. ted 

 in Jamaica. It is a small fiberless 

 sweet mango with a faint red flush, 

 very much like the Pairi.

 very thin rudiments of seeds. The 

 fruits are borne in clusters of 10 to 12, 

 like grapes. Curiously enough, once in 

 a while this variety produces a viable 

 seed and this reproduces the variety.
