CASIMIROA EDUUS. 
WHITE SAPOTA. 
This hitherto almost neglected subtropical tree, with greenish-yellow fruit sometimes 3 inches 
in diameter, is well adapted to southern California and southern Florida, and possibly will succeed 
in protected areas in southern Texas and Louisiana. The pulp has a rich subacid taste and is 
most palatable when somewhat overripe. The thick skin will probably make long shipments 
possible. The tree is said not to root well from cuttings but to grow well from seeds. Trees in 
southern California have attained the age of 80 years and though neglected have borne fruit 
regularly for years. The illustration shown is one-half natural size.
