A well known Bombay kind, tender in the United Provinces — Saharanpur.

 It can be picked while still green, laid or shipped in straw with plenty of air, and kept 

 for six weeks. Even after ripe, fruits can be kept for a week or more. A much 

 better shipper than Mulgoba, and more productive. — Fairchild.
