" | While the east coast of Florida ‘is used as the locale of Mary !Freels Rosborough’s, ‘Tamarind Hill” which appeared in the June jissue of “Every Woman’s Maga- lzine, nevertheless, the tamarinds ‘of Key West played their part in the story. | Not only does the tamarind carry |the title, but the story is woven about it. “That,” s one of the ‘characters pointing to the tree, “is a tamarind beside the fountain, ‘It is the only one left of the stand granddad brought from West and planted on the place. These trees are also a favorite of Key West children, and_ their jplea, “gimme some tamafinds’’ is all too familiar to the owners. | Tamarind, Tamarindus indica, is probably a native of Afri and Asia where it grows in both jungle {and village. | It has spreading branches which jare strong and pliable, with grace- \ful, feathery foilage. The pod is | velvety brown, three or four inches ‘in length, and brittle when ripe. | Within, are several seed embedded jin sticky, brown pulp,-. containing } sugar and tartarie acid. Locally, the pulp is eaten: as it comes from the pod, or preserved in sugar and used as a cooling } drink | In the Orient and the West In- |dies, the pulp is dried in the sun, |eured in salt water, or preserved in sugar and shipped to Europe to be used in making curry, chutney, and steak sauce . . . The papaya also come into the limelight, but the rays never played on our local trees. Earl Wilson, well-known New York columnist, in a recent trip around the world, wrote from ingapore: ‘We've now come 115,897 miles from Broadway - to the land of the papaya.” This seems to be another version of Maeterlinck’s story of the quest for the Blue Bird of Happiness, as { ae — the papaya flourishes in South Florida; a mere four hour trip by plane from New York. The addi- tion to this, the tree is a native of tropical America: in fact, k before 1778 Andre Michaux, wild in Florida, as far north a New Smyrna. The’ word papaya is frequently mis| ied.

Papaya, Carica papaya, is also known 2§ the powpay tree. Ordin- arily, it has no branches, but sev- eral may develop. The smooth broad leaves are cluttered at the top of the trunk. Directly at cheir base, the cream-white flower and fruit are borne. The papaya, being strictly individualist, hangs all fruit from its trunk, This is melon-shaped, yellow or green with pulp w to orange or red. Inside, are sw black seeds with a gelatinous coa According to Bishop: ‘The fresh pulp is @ good source of calcium sugar, and vitamins A, C, and G The milky juice so evident in ihe fruit contains papain, a proteir digestive principle.

This cream, according to the manufacturers, made from the enzyme of the papaya. According to cosmetic history the lovely Empress Josephine, who was born on the island of Martin They que, used beauty pre made from the enzyme of the papaya. : ! Figuring, that Josephine began improving upon nature at the age of 16, we know that the papay was used in cosmetics as iar back as 1779. All of which reminds us, there is ; little new under the sun, the moon, and the stars.
