PEELING THE MANILA OR PHILIPPINE MANGO. 
(Mangifera indica L. See S. P. I. No. 46238.) 
This valuable seedling race was brought to Mexico from the Philippines 
and is now grown in several parts of that Eepublic, as well as in 
Cuba and southern Florida. It comes true from seed, and the 
fruit is nearly free from fiber and of excellent quality. In regions 
where budded or grafted plants of the best Indian mangos are not 
obtainable seedlings of the Manila race should be planted exten- 
sively. Their fruits are nearly as good as those of the best Indian 
varieties. (Photographed by Wilson Popenoe, Tehuantepec, State 
of Oaxaca, Mexico, June 24, 1918; P17506FS.)
