Hathijhui., India. Introduced under S. P. I. No. 9258. (Sometimes spelled Hathi Jhul, 

 S. P. I. No. 10648). Now under trial in Florida. 



A variety with a very superior flavored fruit, one of the best. A very large fruit. 

 — Saharanpur. 



Moderate bearer; fruit large; second quality; green and yellow; stone small; tree 

 hardy; ripens late; keeps well; free grower; the largest fruiting kind, and of good 

 quality. — Hartless, Saharanpur. 



Hawaiian Sweet, Hawaii. (So called). This was the first variety to be introduced in the 

 islands, having come probably from Mexico. It is now found everywhere in Hawaii 

 where mangos are grown. Size medium; stem depressed; color light green with slight 

 brownish tints before ripening, the green changing to yellow and the brown to pink 

 as ripening proceeds; flavor good when well grown; juices abundant; texture fibrous; 

 seed large; tree a free bearer. — Higgins. 



Heart, Ceylon. This is also called the Bombay and is the commonest variety found on the 

 market. Prolific; fruit medium in size, not much longer than broad, of second quality; 

 skin golden yellow; seed of medium size; ripens early and is a fair keeper. The tree 

 is a free grower and is hardy. — Dr. Drieberg. 



Herbert No. 9, Hawaii. The seed from which this variety was grown was introduced at 

 the same time as the No. 9, and was supposedly identical, being planted under the 

 same number. The fruit, however, is very distinct, but bears a close resemblance to 

 No. 9. The writer has designated it in honor of Mr. Allan Herbert, who planted the 

 tree. Size rather smaller than No. 9; form resembling that variety, but with the 

 peculiar "S" shape, still more marked; color dark yellow when ripe, with a very 

 beautiful bright red on exposed side, thus making it very distinct and one of the most 

 attractive mangos. In other respects it is similar to No. 9, but is apparently more 

 subject to blight. — Higgins. 



Hi.msagar. Listed, but not described, by William Bros., Ceylon. 



Honey, Ceylon. A small roundish fruit, of sweet flavor. — Macmillan. 



Inerma, India. A Durbhanga variety of great size. Reported four pounds in weight. — 

 Woodrow. 



Itamaraca, Brazil. Introduced under S. P. I. No. ~'3i:2(>. Xow under trial in Florida. Sent

A small yellow mango with a thin skin, without fiber, and with a very delicate 

 flavor, bringing a high price in the market. Occurs in Pernambuco. (Bello) — Bureau 

 of Plant Industry. 

 Jaffna, Ceylon. Introduced under S. P. I. N'os. 8411 and 8680. 



Large oval fruit of excellent quality when well grown; probably equal to 

 "Alphonso" of India. — Macmillan. 



A long fruited, medium sized mango, green in color. The seed is fairly large, 

 flesh golden yellow. It is edible before fully ripe. A vigorous grower and a good 

 bearer. This is the best market mango in Ceylon, and is the one generally planted 

 about the villages. — Fairchild. 



The favorite variety here. Prolific; fruit medium in size, twice as long as broad, 

 of first quality; skin green; seed of medium size; ripens early and is a fair keeper. 

 The tree is a fairly free grower and is hardy. — Dr. Drieberg, Ceylon.

 like an apple). Tip rounded; beak short and strong; pulp yellow with a brownish 

 tinge, free from fiber; flavor strong, excellent, distinct. (R. K. Bhide)— Woodrow. 



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