New Fruits Developed by Florida Horticulturists
In Miami on September 4, two Florida horticulturalists, a Chinese immigrant and a Black grower, announced new fruit varieties.

He also highlighted Vand, a grapefruit with notable aroma and penetrating flavor. Hezekiah Brooks, a Black gardener, reports success with a new mango variety ripening from November to January, said to resemble Mulgoba but superior in flavor, possibly a cross with Sundash.

In future the messenger will wear a frock coat without gold braid and will travel unescorted, and only to the most distinguished will such homage be accorded.
