39829. MALUS SYLVESTRIS. Limoncello apple. Best variety 
grown in Italy for general market.  Presented by Dr. Gustav
Eisen, Kome.  Lemon-yellow, with light flush; flesh crisp, white,
juicy; flavor strong, suggesting Cabernet grapes; fine shipper; espe-
cilly adapted to warm, dry climates.  Not to be preferred to best
apples from Northern States, but reported to be superior to any
grown in the central and southern plains of California.

27108. MALUS sp. From E. C. Parker, Mukden, Manchuria.
Common in Manchuria as far north as 45°.  Very hardy and healthy.
Attains a height of 15 feet and bears small fruit one-half to three-
quarters of an inch in diameter, resembling a thorn-apple.  Valuable
in America for grafting or budding purposes only.  Grafted on apple
stock from Washington.

MAMMEA AMERICANA. The Mammee-apple. A large West
Indian tree related to the mangosteen, erect, unusually handsome, with
dark green, glossy foliage.  Fruits round, 5 inches in diameter, with
thick, leathery rind and firm, yellow flesh, inclosing several large
seeds. Flavor suggests the apricot.

7104. MANGIFERA INDICA. Amini mango. A smll but
unusually attractive variety from Bangalore, India.  Oval, compressed, 
about 8 ounces in weight, bright yellow in color, overspread
with crimson.  Aroma pronounced, flavor very spicy; flesh bright
yellow and free from fiber.  Seems more productive than many
Indian mangoes and of probable commercial value. Ripens rather
early.

8730. MANGIFERA INDICA. Paheri mango. From Bombay, 
India. Oval, plump, about 10 ounces in weight, dull yellow in
color, blushed red around base.  Flesh orange, free from fiber, of
very rich, spicy flavor.  Some authorities have called it the best
flavored mango of Bombay.  Fairly productive, and ripens in mid-
season. Presented by the late J. N. Tata, of Bombay. (PI. X.)

10637. MANGIFERA INDICA. Brindabani mango. Named
from Indian town; introduced in 1903.  A very precocious and 
productive variety which appears to be rather liable to disease.  Ripens
July to September.  Fruit oblate, medium size, 8 to 9 ounces in
weight, orange-yellow, flesh rather coarse, juicy, with a good deal of
fiber; flavor fair to good. Tree small, spreading.

10662. MANGIFERA INDICA. Gola mango. From Seharunpur, 
India, 1904. Large, ovate, practically fiberless, yellow
mango of good flavor; rather late in ripening; color yellow, but a
trifle dull; apparently not very productive, but fairly resistant to
disease.  Too little tested yet to determine its commercial
possibilities.  Deserves further trial.
