THE FIRST LITCHI FRUITS PRODUCED IN FLORIDA.

In September, 1909, trees of the litchi (Litchi chinensis), which were inarched from S. P. I. No.
21201 on seedlings in the greenliouse in Washington, were sent to Mr. E. N. Reasoner, of Oneco,
Fla., who gave them special care. The photograph (P19833FS) is of two of the first fruits pro-
duced by one of these trees. They were of excellent quality, with small seeds. Received July 15,
1916. (Natural size.)
