Prolific bearer; size small; third quality; color green; stone large; tree hardy;

 size, sometimes weighing two pounds. Somewhat acid. — Reasoner, Florida. 



Form long, compressed, and rather slender, tapering toward stem and terminating 

 in a distinct curved beak at the apex; size very large, averaging around twenty ounces 

 in weight, and occasionally attaining a weight of two pounds; stem stout, apex prom- 

 inent, curved and beaked; surface smooth; color clear yellow, with faint pinkish blush 

 in the sun; dots numerous, small, russeted ; skin moderately thick; seed long, curved, 

 thin, small in proportion to size of fruit and thickness of flesh; flesh rich reddish 

 yellow, juicy and tender, almost entirely free from fiber; flavor sprightly and refresh-

 the mangos thus far obtainable in our markets. Season very late, ripening in the
