brighter red than in the French; peeling quahties good; texture fair; flesh light yellow;

Rajia, India. Weight seven ounces; size three and one-eighth bv two and one-half inches; 

 skin yello\^dsh green, tinged red on shoulder; pulp deep yellow, of rich sweet flavor, 

 and no fiber; left shoulder level, right shoulder falling; beak none. — Woodrow. 



Rajpury, India. Introduced under S. P. I. No. 7105. Fruited in Florida. Sent to Cali- 

 fornia for trial, in 1911, by Bureau of Plant Industry. (Also spelled Bajpuri, 

 Rajabury, and Bajapun'i). 



Average size about ten ounces in weight, a trifle elongated, flavor rich and buttery. 

 Both flavor and aroma distinct from any other mango; very attractive and very 

 prolific. — Reasoner, Florida. 



This is a fruit averaging from eleven to twelve ounces, and while it is practically 

 free from fiber and of a delicate texture and flavor, its remarkable characteristic is 

 its perfume, which is entirely diff"erent from any other mango yet growTi in this 

 section. This perfume, fascinating and delicate as it is, is hard to describe, and this 

 mango, like many others that are being propagated here, is bound to become of great 

 value, as it promises to be a prolific bearer and a great favorite. — The Homeseeker. 



It weighs from seven to fourteen ounces, seventy-five per cent, of all the fruit 

 weighing from ten to eleven ounces, and is more nearly globular in shape than any 

 other of our mangos. It has a fine aroma and flavor, which are distinct and peculiar 

 to itself, preferred by many to Mulgoba or Alphonse. Yellow, with delicate pink 

 cheek where exposed to the sun. As nearly spherical in shape as a mango ever is. — 

 Beach, Florida. 



Raspbury, India. Introduced under S. P. I. No. 7106. 



Raspuri. Listed, but not described, by William Bros., Ceylon. 



Rayxatjd, French West Indies. Native of the Indian archipelago. Small, round, light 

 colored outside, flesh whitish and aromatic. — Jumelle. 



Redondo, Porto Rico. A large, thick-meated form, common in the Ponce market. In form 

 it is quite symmetrical, with a decidedly depressed stem. In color it varies from green 

 to red, the difference being in some instances so marked as to suggest a distinct type. 

 The color seemed the only difference, however, and the market people insisted that 

 the green and the red might come from the same tree. The flesh is very juicy, moder- 

 ately free from fiber, and of a very good flavor. — Collins. 



Red No. 11, West Indies. A West Indian descendant of a fine Indian sort, having high 

 color, but is small and somewhat fibrous. — Reasoner, Florida. 



Reine Amelie, French West Indies. Skin very thin, slightly spotted, easily separated from 

 the pulp. — Jumelle. 



Roberts, Florida. This is a descendant from No. 11 and has been propagated by budding 

 to some extent. It is distinctly to be preferred to the usual run of No. ll's, being 

 highly colored and ha^ang less fiber. — Rolfs. 



Romaki, India. Introduced under S. P. I. No. 10658. A medium sized fruit, subacid, of 

 very fine flavor. — Saharanpur. 



Roos, India. Introduced under S. P. I. No. 7043. 



RosA^ Porto Rico. A nearly spherical form, seen at Yauco, yellow in color, with one side 

 a beautiful red. The skin is very thin, the meat comparatively free from fiber, very 

 mild and pleasant, without a trace of turpentine flavor. — CoUins. 



RuxTRA. Listed, but not described, by Wilham Bros., Ceylon. 



Rupee, Ceylon. Introduced under S. P. I. No. 8412. The largest fruited mango grown in 

 Ceylon. It is called the Rupee, or two shilling mango, because of the price paid for 

 a single fruit. Its origin is unknown. It is very large, sometimes five inches long, 

 nearly globular, light green in color when ripe. A shy bearer. Skin tender and easily
