Tree is said to be a very vigorous grower, symmetrical in form, and a heavy l>earer. 

 The fruit begins to ripen at Miami about the first week in June. — 1910 Yearbook, (J. S. 

 Dept. of Agriculture. 



Originated at Miami, Florida. 



Chickna, India. Introduced under S. P. I. Nos. 9521 and 10660. Now under trial 

 in Florida. Sent to California for trial, in 1911, by Bureau of Plant Industry. 

 A medium sized fruit, light yellow, of good flavor. — Gollan, Saharanpur. 

 Prolific bearer; small size; quality only fair; color reddish green; stone small; 

 tree hardy; ripens medium; keeps well; free grower; ordinary. — Hartless, Saharanpur. 



China of Guatemala. A very fine seedling race, common in the markets of Guatemala 

 City, and considered the finest mango of that region. The form of the fruit is charac- 

 teristic, being very thin and almost circular in outline, with a prominent blunt "nak" 

 located some distance from the apex. The flesh is thick and remarkably free from 

 fiber for a seedling, mild and aromatic, without suggesting turpentine. 



This variety differs from others examined in having pronounced longitudinal 

 ridges on the seed, which is thin and very broad. Like the Manila of Mexico, this 

 form apparently comes true to seed. By some this form is called Mango de Brea. 

 This name is, however, more appropriately applied to another form in which the fruit 

 is more or less coated with a pitch-like exudation, l>reu meaning pitch. — Collins. 



China of Hawaii. Size very large, one of the largest mangos in Hawaii; form resembling 

 the Strawberry mango, with a slightly depressed stem; color a shade of yellow on the 

 unexposed side, and on the exposed side varying from orange to orange red; peeling 

 qualities good; texture good; flesh abundant in proportion to the size of the seed, very 

 bright in color like that of the Vanilla mango; flavor rather lacking in delicacy, 

 though sweet. It would seem that this variety, the Vanilla, and the so-called Straw- 

 berry are all closely related. There is a similarity of flavor, form and odor of flesh. 

 They differ in size and color of rind. — Higgins. 



CuiTTORo. Listed, but not described, by William Bros., Ceylon. 



Cobria, India. Weight six ounces; size two and three-quarters by two and three-quarters 

 inches; skin smooth, yellowish green; pulp pale yellow, of fine flavor, no fiber; beak 

 none; shoulders level. — Woodrow. 



Coi.leca, India. Weight ten ounces; size four and three-eighths by two and five-eighths 

 inches; skin yellowish green; pulp shaded yellow, sweet, no fiber, a cooking fruit; 

 beak very slight and broad; right shoulder slightly lower than the left one. — Woodrow. 



Costa, India. Weight eight and one-half ounces; size three and five-eighths by two and 

 seven-eighths inches; skin yollowish green; pulp cream, of pleasant flavor; beak very 

 slight; left shoulder very broad and slightly high. — Woodrow. 



Cowasjee Patel, India. Introduced under S. P. I. N'o. 7045. Synonymous with Kavasji- 

 Patel, which see. 



Crescent, Hawaii. Size medium to large; form crescent shaped, with a tendency toward 

 greatest enlargement on the exposed side, even when ripe. In ripening, the exposed 

 side takes on tinges of yellow, and when fully ripe becomes a shade of orange yellow. 

 Peeling qualities poor; texture very good, quite free from fiber; flavor excellent, sweet, 

 and spicy; flesh light yellow with a slight tinge of green, except at the center close to 

 the seed, where it is quite bright, approaching yellow-orange; seed very thin and long, 

 resembling the fruit in outline, greatly reduced within the husk and showing a tendency 

 toward seedlessness. This is one of the most desirable of the sweet seedling mangos. — 

 Higgins. 



Crassous, French West Indies. Oblong, clear green outside, very little fiber. — Jumelle. 

 Chiller, Mauritius. Introduced under S. P. I. Xo. 27854.
