Two of the fruit are on the tree, which bears only after the seed has been planted seven years. No. blossoms or buds indicate that the fruit is ready to come forth. It makes its appearance from the limbs, not the branches, of the tree and comes to maturity on a short, and thick stem. Those acquainted with the mamey, in English mammea, in its native soil of Cuba, say that the tree in Key West is one of the finest they have ever seen, and the large size of the fruit re- markable. The fruit when ripe is made into a paste, after the style of the universally used guava marmalade, but is much rarer and more expen- sive, because of the scarcity of the fruit. Many people in Key West and numbers of strangers have visited the station to see this odd member of the fruit tree family, with its delicious fruit growing on the limbs. As far as can be learned there is but one other of these trees in Key West. This is one year old and is in the yard of the home of “tent | Citsen | eeccccecoeaocs | For ‘SUPPLY BILL IS TAKEN UP TODAY BY HOUSE TODAY [OVER TWENTY-THREE MiIL- LION KNOCKED OFF TOTAL AS PREVIOUSLY ASKED BY BUDGET BUREAU (Ry Annoointed Press) WASHINGTON, Dee. 10. i—Knocking $23,912,000 off the total asked by the bud- get bureau, the house ap- propriations committee to. day reported its first annual supply bill for the session recommending that $961,- 416,000 be allowed the treasury and postoffice de- partments for the next fiscal year.
