MALPICHIA glabra.* The Barbadoes Cherry. A beautiful small evergreen tree, bearing quantities of delicious acid fruit, resembling the Surinam cherry in color and general appearance. It is highly prized in its native home, the West Indies. Pot-grown plants, 25 cts. each, $ per doz. MAMMEA Americana.** The Mammea Apple, or St. Domingo Apricot. A tall tree with oval, shining leathery leaves, and bearing large, round, brown fruits, 3 to 6 inches in diameter, containing 1 to 4 rough seeds. A taste for the delicious sub- acid yellow pulp does not have to be acquired. It is eaten raw alone, or cut in slices with wine and sugar or sugar and cream, and also makes a deli- cious canned preserve. Strong, pot-grown, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz. MANCIFERA Indica.* Mango. One of the most delicious and valuable of Indian fruits ; this has proved adapted to our sandy soil, and does remarkably 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 I 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.
