exposed side. Weight eight to twelve ounces. Skin firm and tough, flesh pale yellow, 

 melting and juicy, slightly arid with pleasant aromatic flavor. Seed medium small and 

 thin. Fiher very short and coarse, tree strong grower. — Cellon, Florida. 



Its fruit is smaller than Mulgoha, running from eight to twelve ounces, while 

 the former runs from twelve to sixteen. In flavor and aroma as well as other quali- 

 ties it is equal to Mulgoba, differing enough to make some prefer one, some the other, 

 according to individual taste. So far as it has been tested it appears to he more 

 prolific than the former, and we presume as good a shipper, though it has not yet had 

 the test of time to determine. This is the only one of the famous Alphonse type that 

 has fruited with us yet. — Beach, Florida.

Fernandez, India. Introduced under S. P. I. Xo. "039. Fruited in Florida. Sent to Cal- 

 ifornia for trial, in 1911, by Bureau of Plant Industry. 



Weight six ounces; size three and one-eighth by two and one-half inches; skin on 

 exposed side bright red, with small yellow specks, gradually shading downward, and 

 on sheltered side to yellowish green; pulp bright yellow, fiber very slightly wooly; 

 flavor very fine, sweet and piquant; shoulders both low; beak scarcely perceptible. A 

 very superior sort. — Woodrow. 



Fernandez is a small fruit, with a bright red cheek, and small seed. It is the 

 only one of the imported sorts so far that has a distinct sub-acid flavor. Some 

 specimens are so absolutely free from fiber that by making an incision around the 

 center of the fruit, the bottom half of the pulp with the skin can be slipped off from 

 the seed, like a freestone peach. It has very distinctive foliage, and is further distin- 

 guished from all others by a whitish bloom which covers the new bark so long as it 

 remains green, disappearing only when the latter turns brown with age. — Beach, 

 Florida.
