From Mozufferpur, Behar, India. Procured by Mr. Wilson Popenoe, of the Biureau 

 of Plant Industry. 



Quoted notes by Mr. Popenoe. 



"Mozufferpur produces some of the best mangos in India, and is said to possess some 

 exceptionally choice varieties. These varieties were obtained from a Hindu nursery- 

 man and were stated to be choice, but no description was furnished with them. Mozuf- 

 ferpur has a much heavier rainfall than Seharunpiu", and for this reason it was thought 

 desirable to obtain mangos from here, in the hope that they might be better adapted to 

 the climate of south Florida than other Indian varieties,"

36040. "Bedana gi'ape, small variety. A seedless grape of excellent flavor, 

 which is supposed to have come to Seharunpur from some point iu the 

 Pimjab, and originally to have come from Afghanistan. It is perhaps too 

 small to be of great value in America, but at Seharunpur it is highly 

 esteemed as a table variety."
