A careful survey of the Island of Cuba will result in bringing to notice a considerable number of varieties well worthy of propa- gation. Some Apple (Manzano) and Filip- pino seedlings will be found to possess su- perior merits and should be propagated and grown. But it must be borne in mind that such good varieties as may be found will not come true from seed. They will have to be inarched or budded. Apple is a variable form, generally a small variety, roundish in shape, well colored and of acid flavor. Filippino or Philippine Mango is a large variety, long and rather narrow, with thin seed; comparatively free from fiber, free from turpentine flavor and a good shipper. To these and other native strains should be added Mulgoba, one of the U. S. Depart- ment of Agriculture importations of 1889. It is a thrifty, prolific variety, rounded kidney shape, largeâfrequently weighing a poundâyellow, blushed with red; fiber lack- ing, the seed may be removed as from a freestone peach; flesh tender, melting, juicy, quality very fine, fla\or rich and sweet. Alphonse is said to be the best of all, of delicious flavor; greenish colored with a rich crimson color- ing on the side ex- posed to the sun; weighs about half a pound. Soondersha is a large variety, the fruit weighing two or three pounds. Not so good in qual- ity as Mulgoba. Very prolific.
