A well known Bombay kind, tender in the United Provinces — Saharanpur. 



This is the best Bombay mango, and is remarkable for its good shipping qualities. 

 It can be picked while still green, laid or shipped in straw with plenty of air, and kept 

 for six weeks. Even after ripe, fruits can be kept for a week or more. A much 

 better shipper than Mulgoba, and more productive. — Fairchild.

 with no noticeable point at blossom end. — Beach, Florida.
