Thurston, Ceylon. Introduced under S. P. I. No. 8413. 



Fruit is of medium size, short, and somewhat globular. The stone is of medium 

 size and the skin is dark green when ripe. It ripens well off the tree. It is a vigorous 

 grower, has a sweet flavor, and according to Dr. Drieberg is acid when not fully ripe. 

 The flesh is greenish in color near the skin and slightly fibrous. — Fairchild. 



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



Totapari, India. (Synonym Totafari). Introduced under S. P. I. No. 8732. Fruited in 

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



Skin very smooth, altogether yellow, moderately tough, pulp concolorous with skin. 

 Slightly fibrous, flavor excellent. It measures four and seven-eighths by two and seven- 

 eighths inches. Both shoulders fall equally, beak small but distinct (Bhide). — 

 Woodrow. 



A good midseason sort, resembling Sandersha, but only about half the size. Bears 

 when very small. — Reasoner, Florida. 



This has proven to be a good fruit. It is about the size of Bennet, but has not the 

 same aroma or flavor, still it is very desirable and a valuable acquisition. Weight 

 eight to ten ounces. Rather long and pointed at blossom end, much like Sundertha 

 on a smaller scale. A free bearer. — Beach, Florida. 



Vanilla, Hawaii. Size medium to large; form approaching roundness, with the stigmatic 

 point more or less prominent; color quite uniform when ripe, passing through shades 

 of yellow to those of orange yellow when ripening; peeling qualities good; texture fair 

 to good; flavor rather too pronounced, with a slight bitter principle close to the seed; 

 color of flesh orange; seed medium to large. — Higgins. 



Walnut, Hawaii. Size small to very small; some specimens being not much larger than 

 a walnut; form rounded, but not full on the stigmatic side, the stigmatic point being 

 almost obliterated; color a shade of yellow on the unexposed side, the exposed side 

 blushed with red and orange at the stem end; peeling qualities fair; flavor fair; texture 

 fair; seed large. It is valuable chiefly as a curiosity. — Higgins. 



White Alphonse (or Safeda Alfoot), India. Introduced under S. P. I. No. 22970. Now 

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

 Industry. 



The Advocate of India has this to say of the White Alphonse mango: "We have 

 at this moment on the office table a specimen of mango which has been sent us, — the 

 like of which has never before been grown. It is a White Alphonse, perfect in shape, 

 with a beautiful satin skin and a subtle aroma which faithfully indicates the delicate 

 flavor of its golden pulp. It is a triumph in every respect, with the smallest stone for 

 its size. Yet it is gigantic in weight and proportions. A good specimen of our Golden 

 Alphonso, so far our best mango, does not weigh more than about four ounces. The 

 White Alphonse just fails to tip the beam at the weight of two and one-half pounds."

 Wootten Chutkey, Hawaii. See explanatory note under Lemon Chutney. 



This name has been given to the variety because the only tree of the kind 

 known is growing on the residence property of Mr. Harry Wootten in Honolulu. Size 

 medium to large; color when ripe a shade between orange yellow and yellow orange, 

 with tinges of pink and red at stem end; peeling qualities fair; texture very good; 

 flavor excellent; seed rather small for the size of the fruit. An important characteristic 

 of this variety is that while still solid it has a very beautiful color as if ripe, making 

 it a desirable market form. It is one of the best of this class of mangos. — Higgins.
