DEVELOP NEW
VARITIES OF FRUIT

Atlanta, Ga. Sept. 4.-(By the As
sociated Press Two Florida hortl-
culturists, one a Chinese and the
other a negro, have developed new
varieties of fruits which the former
believes is destined to fill gap in the
fruit calender of this section, and the
other to introduce a new variety of
grapefruit.
Lue Gin Gong, the Chinese, whose
estate near DeLand is one of the show
places of Central Florida, gained in
ternational prominence some years
ago when he disclosed the develop
ment of a new variety of the citrus
fruit. The orange. which was named
the "Lue Gin Gong" in honor of its
developer, now is produced through
out the state. In March, 1921, Lue
Gin Gong announced the production
of, and exhibit, grapefruit remark
able for the penetration power of its
agreeable aroma. His experiments
with citrus fruits are continuing.
Hezekiah Brooks, negro gardener
and fruit grower of Miami, recently
announced the successful conclusion of
his attempts to produce new variety
of mango. The result is destined to
fill a gap in the fruit calender of this
section because, he claims, the fruit
ripens between November and Janu-
ary, a period during which the mango
is not to be found in this market.
The Brooks mango is similar to the
Mulgoba in appearance and texture
but is declared to be superior to that
variety in flavor. Some experts pro-
nounce it a cross of the Mulgoba and
Sundash. Brooks has presented some
of the new mangoes to Charles Deer
ing for propagation and experiments
or the Deering estate here.
