One of the most delicious and valuable of Indian fruits; this has proved adapted to our sandy soil, and does re- markably well. Hard freezes, of course, will kill the tree back to the roots, when the trunk should be cut back at once to sound, live wood. There is a possibility of an, occasional cold winter only, and we advise their planting on well-protected lands all over South Florida. The best soil is high, well- drained, sandy land, suitable for the orange, but this tree thrives on black-jack, scrub, and spruce- pine lands, where most other trees are a failure. Any good fertilizer will make the tree grow, but for fruiting use plenty of ashes or sulphate of potash besides the usual manure. The tree is very hand- some, having long, linear leaves six or more inches in length, with wine-colored new growth. Flowers are produced in spring at ends of the branches, in- conspicuously, and the fruit is produced on healthy trees in great abundance. It is a tree quite easily fruited under glass or other plant houses, either in tubs or the open ground. The culture is so easy, and the fine varieties we offer are so very desirable, that we hope no South Florida home will be with- out Mango trees. The following are excellent sorts, grown from selected seed. (They do not always come true from seed.) Cole. From Jamaica. Nearly round, averaging 3 inches long. "It has a peculiar, spicy flavor, dis- tinct from any Mango I ever tasted," Very good. Pot-grow
