THE PAPAYA, OR MELON PAWPAw
Bv JOHN DELLING

oOWI lew IIlClICo dpdIL W prevent
damping off of the seedlings. When the
latter have three or four leaves they can
be shifted into larger beds or into pots
The young papayas should be planted
out IN their permanent positions when
they are six inches or so high; since the
larger they are the more difficult it often
is to transplant them.
The papaya requires a we1l-drained
soil, and is readily killed by stagnant
water about the roots Thus it grows
commonly in South Florida, when wild
on the high shell mounds or shell ham,
mocks. If grown in a rather poor sandy
soil, this should be enriched with plenty
of humus. If only few plants are
grown Gas for home consumption), the
following method (Which has been tried
in light volcanic soil in the West
Indies) secures excellent results Dig
holes, about 10 feet apart, in a sandy,
well-drained soil, three or four feet
square and three feet or more deep.
Fill them with a compost of soil, farm
yard manure, rotting weeds, peat, or
humus of any kind. adding unleached
wood ashes, and perhaps few ounces
of fertilizer. Plant a papaya in EACH
Cover the ground with good mulch of
pine needles, etc. The young plants will
need watering. AS soon as the first
flowers appear, cut out the staminate
plants, so as to leave only fruiting trees
CA few papayas may be planted near by
on poorer ground and one or two stam-
mate trees out of these left, the others
being cut DOWN. In very dry weather
the plants should be watered, or they
will stop growing and fruiting. If they
are grown on without a check these sue
culent-stemmed, unbranched, large
leaved plants will make most rank
growth, and in a warm climate, fruit
almost continuously.
If the Dapayas are started from seed
early one year, and protected the fol-
lowing winter, while they are yet small,
by barrels or otherwise, they will fruit
next autumn in Central Florida. Pa
payas have been known to reach the age
of ten years, as far north as Tampa Bay.
They may lose their leaves in a slight
frost. During the freeze of 1886 all ur1-
protected papayas were killed in most
places as far south as the Caloosahat-
chez. In South Florida the papaya
grows we'll in the open, and, as already
noted, is met with in the wild state
Within the tropics a well-cared-for
fruiting papaya may begin to flower
within eight months from seed; when
it may be as tall as man and about six
inches thick at the base One such tree
would probably produce more than a
hundred weight of fruit in a whole
year. There are usually three flowers
in the axil of each leaf, but often only
one of them produces a large fruit
When the tree is ripening a heavy crop
of fruit, the flowers in the axis of the
upper leaves may fail to set and fall off ];
and this may continue until the growing
fruits on the stem below have attained
their full size. In Florida papaya plants
have perfected from twenty to thirty
fruits during one autumn and winter,
when two years old from seed.
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-03-01
The Latex.

the perfectly ripe tru1tS) contain a
milky-white latex which exudes from
the slightest wound, flowing rapidly at
first, and then slackening, probably be-
cause it coagulates in the latex tubes.
The latex soon clots and dries on the
plant, and so tends to seal up any wound
1t has a corrosive action on the skin,
and if the raw latex (from green fruits,
etc., is swallowed, it may tend to cause
intestinal inflammation. The latex is
slightly heavier than water and tastes
somewhat astringent, bitter and acid.
More than three-quarters of its weight
consists of water. 1t may contain about
four and half per cent of substances
resembling rubber, nearly three per. cent
Of resin, about two and half per cent
of wax, more than five per cent of pro-
ted ferment (papain), about seven per
cent of pectins and ash, and over one
per cent of unpleasant tasting extrac-
tives. When the coagulated juice is
dried in the sun it still retains some
water, perhaps per cent, and contains
about twenty per cent OF the ferment.
1t has been estimated that we'll grown
pawpaw tree contains several hundred
ounces of liquid latex, and it has been
claimed that in favorable cases one
pound of dried latex has been extracted
from one tree in a year. The latex is
obtained by gashing the green fruits,
and is dried in the sun, after spreading
on plates of glass. One hundred grams
of juice have been extracted from one
green fruit.
The raw latex has an extremely po-
tent digestive action on proteids Thus
if slice of tough meat, as beefsteak,
which within the tropics may be cooked
and eaten an hour or two after being
killed, is we'll rubbed with the juice of
pawpaw leaves or of the green fruits, or
the pulp of the ripe fruit, and cooked, it
becomes tender and is readily mastica-
ted. If it is left for half an hour before
being cooked, it may become jelly, or
even a kind of thick peptonized broth.
(The ripe fruit, which does. not contain
visible milky latex, acts in the same
way on proteids.) The latex coagulates
the casein of milk like rennin; it acts
somewhat on starches, turning them into
glucose; and it apparently has a slight
action on fats Taking the latex in one
papaya tree at the rather low figure of
100 ounces, this would (according to
certain experiments), be sufficient to di-
gest the insoluble proteid in about ten
tons of average fresh beef.
Pabain-Kilmer isolated the papain
by drying the latex without heat, and
exhausting the dry residue successively
with CD ether, (2) ch1oroform, 60
benzine, and (4) alcohol These dis
solve out the wax, rubber and resins,
leaving only the proteid and the ash.
The product is a greenish-white powder
almost completely soluble in water. and
is said to be more active than any pa
pain prepared by methods of precipita
ton.
Papain, is soluble in water, glycerine,
or five per cent alcohol, and may be pre-
cipitated from these solutions by excess
of strong alcohol, or bv saturation with
salts of the alkalies Kilmer noted that
several preparations on the market were

tinuous damp heat of the eternal summer
between the tropics, are likely to suffer
sometimes from digestive arrangements.
Nature has planted the remedy at hand
in the shape of the papaya. The ripe
fruit of this tree, eaten for dessert with
sugar and cream, is not only delicious
dish, but takes upon itself the response
bility of the digestion of the preceding
meal. The papaya fruit can be eaten
every day or two for years without any
cooking the ripe or unripe fruit with
that, with the aid of the papaya, the
tender as you please.
The papaya seems to have been one
of those plants which were cultivated by
the natives of the American tropics be-
fore the arrival of Europeans in the
New World It's seed has since been
carried to Asia, Africa and the Pacific
Islands.
There are local varieties of this fruit,
especially in its native home, tropical
America Thus in the Antilles there is
the long -fruited variety (known as Bar
bados pawpaw), with fruit which may be
foot or more long, by five inches or so
in diameter This is also grown in Cey-
lon and Hawaii A large cantaloupe-
shaped juicy variety (the Guinea pawpaw)
is met with in the Leeward Islands and,
as DR.. Iorns informed me, also in Porto
Rico The common papaya of the An
titles, with oval fruit five or six inches
long, is only found in cultivation. Two
forms are noted as native, or escaped
from cultivation, in South Florida. One
of them has slender green stem, and
a bitterish fruit smaller than an egg;
while the other has purplish stem and
a fruit four or five inches across,
The papaya, like the willow and date
palm, has two kinds of trees-the bar
rem, which bears the staminate flowers,
and the fruiting tree, which has the pls-
tillate flowers. Rather frequently the
former may bear bisexual flowers at
the ends of its long flower stalks, which
flowers turn into rather small fruits.
More rarely the pistillate tree may have
some perfect flowers, provided with sta
mems.
If as is the case in many of the small
islands of the West Indies, there are no
wild papayas, and most of the trees in
the island are of the same variety, the
plant is found to come fairly true from
seed. But if several varieties are grown
and especially if Gas in South Florida)
there are wild papayas with valueless
fruits it is likely that the flowers will
be crossed by moths or other insects.
In the latter case the seeds will be i'm
mensely deteriorated. But this can read
lily be avoided by carefully fertilizing one
pistillate flower (of pure strain) with
the pollen from staminate flower of
the same variety; tying it up in
paper bag for day or two before and
after, to prevent access of insects. AS
this one fruit will contain several hun
dred seeds, it will provide sufficient for
large plantation of papayas.
The seeds germinate readily if fresh
but if old, should be soaked in warm
