THE MANGA DA ROSA, OR ROSE MANGO. 
(Natural size . ) 
This unusually beautiful mango, supposed originally 
to have come from Mauritius, is cultivated on a commercial 
scale at Pernambuco, and to a less extent in Bahia and 
other coastal towns of Brazil. It is somewhat fibrous, 
and perhaps not equal in flavor to some of the , Indian man- 
gos now growing in Florida, but its attractive, appear- 
ance, excellent keeping and shipping qualities have won 
for it great popularity. In color it is d ; eep apricot, 
overlain with varying shades of salmon and flame scarlet 
around the basal end. The flesh is deep yellow in color, 
juicy, and of a very agreeable flavor., Large quantities 
are shipped from Pernambuco to Rio de Janeiro and sold 
there at 65 to 80 cents each. It is one of the few vari- 
eties in Brazil which are propagated by inarching. Bra-
