Explanatory/ Note: The term chutney should be used as the name of a class 

 rather than of a variety, and does not signify a mango used chiefly for the manufacture 

 of chutney, as might be supposed. The flavor of the members of this class is charac- 

 teristic, and though not so sweet as most of the other varieties, it is nevertheless very 

 agreeable and more esteemed by many than any of the sweeter kinds. There is a 

 delightful acidity and spicy character, with a pleasant aroma and usually a charac- 

 teristic odor in all parts of the plant. The ditference between the forms is sometimes 

 very slight, but in other cases it is well marked. They are sometimes separated into 

 so-called acid chutneys and sweet chutneys, but it is quite probable that most of the 

 forms classed as sweet chutneys are really the result of crosses between acid chutneys 

 and some of the sweet mangos. — Higgins.

 texture good; flavor very good; seed thin, flat. It appears to be the same as that

 have come from Manila. — Higgins.
