(The Mango Tree.) Is a large, spreading tree, having a sweet, resinous smell; the flovversare white, grow- ing in bunches at the extremity of the branches; the fruit is a drupe, large, kid- ney-shaped, with pale green or yellow color, when ripe it is replete with a fine, agree- able juice; it eats like an apple, but is more juicy. I have large plants growing out of doors; they seem to be quite hardy, and, given a little protection, there is no reason that it should not fruit in southern Califor- nia near the coast. A tree on my place gave some few fruits this year; four years from the seed. Turpentine Mango. The common kind, raised from seed from the Sandwich Is- lands. $1 each. Yellow Mango. A good variety, but not quite as hardy as the above. $ each. Apricot Mango. Said to have the flavor of a ripe apricot. $1 each. Apple Mango. $1 each. MONSTERA DELICIOSA. A fine ornamental fruit-bearing aroid, that seems to do well in southern Califor- nia, plants having perfected fruit both in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles counties. The fruit in shape resembles an enlongated gTeen pine cone, with a reticulated skin; about five to six inches in length, having the flavor of the banana.

Native of South America. $ Mammee Please note that these i
