R1MABK8. —On varieties as numbered above. 2 and 3 hardy; No. 5 quite acid. 
The Gtjava is extensively grown in Central and Southern Florida for home use, local market, 
and the manufacture of jelly. It is a most delicious fruit for dessert, as well as cooking and preserv¬ 
ing. There are numerous varieties, as yet unclassified. The hardy kinds, Cattley and Chinese, have 
about the same range as oranges. 
MfINGOES— Mangifera Indica. 
(See Explanation of Abbreviations on page iv.) 
Remarks.—A large number of seedling mangoes are grown. Many of these are referred 
to as No. 11, and, while they have a group resemblance to one another, still they are distinct 
in varietal characteristics. A considerable number of named va/rieties are now being tested. 
Among these may be mentioned, AJfonse, Soondershaw, and Gordon.
