 suitable market. It is quite true that much of the fruit grown and sent to 

 market is from trees bearing inferior Mangos, and no one would readily 

 acquire a taste for this fruit if only the fibrous varieties with strong un- 

 pleasant flavour were presented for their use. But there are Mangos of 

 most delicious flavour, and free from fibre, which can be grown as easily 

 as the worthless varieties ; and if these are properly gathered and packed 

 they should be saleable in any market. The total production in 1900 was 

 277,444 dozen.
