Typical American Fruits

The bureau of plant industry says
that there were two fruits In America
which at the time of Joliet's explora-
tions would have been new to him.
Those two fruits were papaws and
persimmons. AS the persimrnon is a
fruit of the South and as Joliet did
not explore that region, 1t is fair to
assume that he found the papaw fruit.
The Indians called this fruit ''asImen.'
The French pronunciation Of this
word would be something like
''ass0ns.''
