THE SONCOYA, AN INTERESTING FRUIT TREE FROM GUATEMALA. 
(Annona purpurea. See S. P. I. No. 43426.) 
The soncoya is a handsome tree, characteristic of the Guatemalan 
lowlands. While it is common in the forest as a wild tree, it is also 
seen in gardens and dooryards, where it is planted for its large 
prickly fruits. It is questionable if the soncoya will withstand 
frost, but it should succeed in extreme southern Florida. (Photo-
