THE INJERTO TREE OF GUATEMALA. 
(ACHRADELPHA VIRIDIS (PITTIER) 0. F. COOK, 8. P. I. No. 4S788.) 
The sapote (Achradelvha mammosa) has not been a success in Florida 
or California, but this near relative, which grows at an altitude of 
6,000 feet, may stand a better chance of succeeding. It does not 
come into bearing until it is 8 years old, but it then often 
produces enormous crops of round to oval fruits, of a dull yellow- 
green color, a sweet pleasant flavor, and a soft melting texture, 
which resembles but is better than that of the sapote itself. (Pho- 
tographed by Wilson Popenoe on the road to San Juan del Obispo, 
Guatemala, October 26, 1916; P16910PS.)
