Xo. 11, Mauritius. This variety, tlie original stock of which was among the first mangos 

 introduced into Jamaica by Captain Marshall, in 1783, is still the most popular 

 variety in the island. It is a fine fruit, though somewhat stringy, and is said to come 

 true to seed. Mr. Hart identifies this variety with the Reine Amelie of Martinique. As 

 Martinique received a large part of its early introduced plants from Mauritius, the 

 source of this variety in Jamaica, this identification doubtless means identity of 

 origin, and the fact that these distinct strains are still identifiable would argue great 

 constancy for this variety. Budded stock of this variety is also grown in Florida. — 

 Collins. 



A variety from Jamaica, but originally from the East. A spicy-flavored sort, 

 with almost unobjectionable fiber (very fine), and of good, large size. The shape is 

 slightly oblong; round, not flat, and in color usually a yellow or green, but we have 

 one tree, out of nearly three dozen bearing specimens, which has a highly colored 

 red cheek, rendering it a valuable market sort. (See Red No. 11). — Reasoner, Florida. 



Ogee, India. Weight thirty-one ounces; size seven and one-eighth by four and one-eighth 

 inches; skin golden; pulp sweet, free from turpentine, but not luscious; stone com- 

 paratively small, left shoulder falling gently, right shoulder falling abruptly; beak 

 small but distinct. — Woodrow. 



Paheri, India. Introduced under S. P. I. No. 8730. Fruited in Florida. Sent to California 

 for trial, in 1911, by Bureau of Plant Industry. 



Fruited in Florida in 1910 for the first time. One of the finest sorts grown in 

 India. General form is roundish, about three and five-eighths by three and three-eighths 

 inches. Skin thick, yeUow and green when ripe, touched with garnet red on sunny 

 side, very attractive. Flesh yellow, tender and juicy, very aromatic. Of high quality. 

 — Reasoner, Florida. 



From India. Size medium; color yellow, blushed with red and pink on side 

 exposed to light; shape nearly round, slightly flattened and obliquely impressed on one 

 side, with a point prolusion at blossom point; skin medium thin, of firm substance; 

 flesh rich golden yellow color, fine grain, tender; flavor rich and melting, highly 

 aromatic and spicy. The fruits can be easily separated in halves without leaving any 

 fiber in the pulp, which can be eaten from the fruit with a spoon. — Cellon, Florida. 



Pahutan, Philippines. Introduced under S. P. I. No. 25940. Now under trial in Florida. 

 Sent to California for trial, in 1911, by Bureau of Plant Industry. 



From my viewpoint this is the best, not horticulturally, other than being a vigorous 

 grower, early fruiter, and enormously prolific. Its very serious defects, — small size, 

 scanty flesh, and excessively large seed, — are from my point of view fully offset by a 

 smoothness, sweetness, juicyness, and flavor unapproached by any other. I have eaten 

 the famous Alphonso mango in Calcutta and do not consider it ace high with Pahutan. 

 Pahutan further has a very thick rind. This, while still further diminishing its scanty 

 flesh, probably adds to its shipping qualities. — Lyon, 



Pairi, India. Probably a synonym for Pyrie, which see. 



Pakria, India. Introduced under S. P. I. No. 8444. 



Weight seven ounces; size four by two and five-eighths inches; skin pale yellow; 

 pulp pale yellow, of delicious flavor without fiber; both shoulders falling; beak none. 

 The leaves are of medium size, pale green, and acute at the base. — Woodrow. 



Paxch Sera, India. Very large fruit. — William Bros., Ceylon. 



Pandria, India. Weight nine ounces; size three and one-fourth by three and one-eighth 

 inches; skin greenish yellow; pulp sweet but wooly; both shoulders falling; beak none. — 

 Woodrow. 



Parkasse, French West Indies. Oval, flattened; light green skin; fiberless, delicious. — 

 J umelle.
