PilRE LOUIS, AN EXCELLENT DWARF MANGO 
(Mangifera indica L.; see S. P. I. No. 51605) 
In those parts of Florida where mango trees are likely to be 
injured by frosts, dwarf varieties admitting of relatively 
easy protection are particularly desirable. Three whicb 
have been introduced by the Office of Foreign Seed and 
Plant Introduction from the West Indies combine this char- 
acteristic with good quality of fruit. They are Pere Louis, 
Julie, and D'Or. The fruit of Pere Louis, illustrated above, 
weighs 6 to 8 ounces; it is greenish yellow, almost fiberless, 
and of rich, pleasant flavor. (Photographed by David Fair-
