A NEW VARIETY OF THE PAPAYA. (CARICA PAPAYA. SEES. P. I. NO. 44110.) 
"An entirely distinct variety of the papaya raised in the garden of A. W. 
Heed, manager of the Western Union Telegraph Co., Brownsville, Tex., 
said to come from Mexico, and sent to the Office of Foreign Seed and 
Plant Introduction by Mr. Louis Cobolini, of the Board of City Develop- 
ment, of Brownsville, to whom the fruit was presented. The almost black 
color around the stem and the distinct yoke distinguish this variety from 
any others which I have ever seen." (Fairchild.) (Photographed bv 
Mr. E. C. Crandall, November 8, 1916; P20106FS.)
