1917 ANNUAL REPORT 



KANOLA (No. Six) S. P. I. 43560. From San Lorenzo el 

 Cubo, near Antigua, Guatemala. Elevation about 5600 feet. Interest- 

 ing particularly for its earliness. It ripens two or three months ahead of 

 most other varieties of its region. In addition it is a handsome little fruit 

 of round form, and the tree is very productive. The weight is about 8 

 ounces, the surface almost smooth and deep purple in color. The skin is 

 woody, the flesh yellow, of excellent flavor and quality. The seed is com- 

 paratively small. The season at San Lorenzo is October to April. Be- 

 cause of its long season this may be a particularly good variety for the 

 home garden. (Fig. 16)

A very early and productive little fruit of fine quality. 

 Slightly rough, deep purple in color, about 

 8 ounces in weight. 



ISHKAL (No. Seven) S. P. I. 43602. From Guatemala City. 

 Elevation 4900 feet. A variety possessing a considerable reputation lo- 

 cally as a fruit of fine quality. It is spherical to broadly obovoid in form, 

 and weighs about 8 ozs. The surface is somewhat rough, deep purple in 

 color, the flesh deep yellow and of very rich flavor. The seed is medium 

 sized or slightly large. The fruits of this variety which were examined 

 were not up to the usual standard, hence the description here given prob- 

 ably does not do the variety justice.
