THE MANGO.

Although the mango is clasSed as a
Florida fruit there are comparatively few
Floridians who know anything about it,
in fact none but those who live in the
southern section of the State where the
fruit is grown, and if the truth must be
told, there are very few Floridians who
have tasted the ''things" who care to
know much more about them. This,
however, may be accounted for by the
fact that the fruit, like the guava, needs
to be eaten for some time before it can be
endured. So far as we know, there is
little to the mango except the seed, and
if some economist will discover some use
for the immense pit or seed of the mango
it might come into more general use and
be more popular.
The report of the Botanical Gardens of
Demera on the mango and other tropical
plants, says that the mango falls into
two distinct classes-the long and the
short fleshed-that is those in which
there is much fibre in the flesh and those
in which there is very little or compare
lively none. The former are what are
commonly known as ''stringy" mangoes,
and sometimes also as 'turpentine"-th
latter due to a marked characteristic in
the flavor reminding one of the oil of
that name Both in Demera and in the
Weat Indies (and also in Florida) the
stringy mangoes are far more abundant
than the better kinds, circumstance
which doubtless ascribes to their unpopu
larity. The natives of the two former
named countr es, however, care nothing
for the better kinds, and prefer those
with plenty of strings and the rich tur-
pentine flavor. There are forty-eight
different varieties cultivated in the De-
mera gardens, but as they have not all
yet fruiUed the report says that it cannot
yet be determined which is the most de-
sirable We trust that some Of the Flor

the mango now stands it may be fine

EVERYONE SHOULD HELP.


building, and the Florida space in the
Horticultural building at the Worlds
Fair. Mr.. jackson has had an exceed
ingly hard time of it in this Worlds Fair
business, and he certainly has the SYM
pathy if he does not have the help and
cooperation of the people of the State.
But why should he not have their help?
No one doubts that a good exhibit would
be else but helpful to the State, and they
will also agree that poor exhibit will
do us harm. The AGRICULTURIsT frankly
admits that in it's opinion it would have
been best for Florida to have staid out
of this fair business altogether when the
Legislature refused to make an appropri
alton. 1t was patent to all, that sufficient
money could not be collected by the va
rious means suggested to make anything
like creditable display, and we have
contended from the first that poor dis
play would be very mu CHI worse than none
at all.
But Mr.. jackson and few earnest
workers are determined to have the dis
play; they have gone ahead at great ex-
pense and erected a Florida building
(Which we think was a mistake to start
with) and q few Of the counties Of the
State have appropriated money to help
pay for this building or to secure space
in it, The total amount thus raised
amounts to less than $1,000. AS there
will be an exhibit it is our duty to help
made it as complete as possible, and not
let it be a reproach and discredit to the
State.
Mr.. jackson is now in Florida and will
doubtless make a canvass of the State,
and as he has no money with which to
buy exhibits it will be necessary for our
people to donate them, and we think it
will be asking but little Of them, too, in
view of the great benefit that is sure to
accrue.
1t will not be a difficult matter now to
get up good horticultural exhibit
Pineapples, peaches, grapes, lemons,
guavaS, mangOes, plums, pears, etc, can
now be collected in abundant quantities,
and will attract great attention at the
fair.
The Superintendent Of the Horticul-
tural department of the fair has ad-
dressed the following letter to Mr.. Jack
son.
DEAR SIR: The State Of Florida has
the largest space in the horticultural
department assigned to a single State
There is every opportunity to make a
very elaborate and complete display of
your horticultural products. No State
in the Union can make more attractive
exhibit, nor could any State profit more
from such.
Your present exhibit, while surpass-
ing that of most States, has not met our
expectations. Now that grapes, peaches,
pineapples and other fruits are in sea-
son, we trust that you will succeed in in
ducing the people to make such a dis
play as might be reasonably expected of
them.
The exhibit which you now have here
attracts universal attention, and I hope
you will keep up good one the entire
season.
Now it will not be a difficult matter
