exposed side. Weight eight to twelve ounces. Skin firm and tough, flesh pale yellow, 

 melting and juicy, slightly acid with pleasant aromatic flavor. Seed medium small and 

 thin. Fiber very short and coarse, tree strong grower. — Cellon, Florida. 



Its fruit is smaller than Mulgoba, running from eight to twelve ounces, while 

 the former runs from twelve to sixteen. In flavor and aroma as well as other quali- 

 ties it is equal to ^Nlulgoba, difl'ering enough to make some prefer one, some the other, 

 according to individual taste. So far as it has been tested it appears to be more 

 prolific than the former, and we presume as good a shipper, though it has not yet had 

 the test of time to determine. This is the only one of the famous Alphonse t^-pe that 

 has fruited with us yet. — Beach, Florida.

Fernandez is a small fruit, with a bright red cheek, and small seed. It is the 

 only one of the imported sorts so far that has a distinct sub-acid flavor. Some 

 specimens are so absolutely free from fiber that by making an incision around the 

 center of the fruit, the l^ottom half of the pulp -with the skin can be slipped off" from 

 the seed, like a freestone peach. It has very distinctive foliage, and is further distin- 

 guished from all others by a whitish bloom which covers the new bark so long as it 

 remains green, disappearing only ■s\hen the latter turns brown with age. — Beach, 

 Florida.
