were seen at Manila in the markets. One, the Mangostine, a peculiar fruit size of a pear & brown hard skinion. Inside are several large black seeds, with a fine silky white pulp of fine acid flavor. Somewhat logical I think. This fruit has some relationship to a mango. Another fruit is the sower, also brown outside with four large black seeds within but the whole interior is edible & sweet in flavor but not acid or so fine as the mangostine. The seeds look me to a restless cafe where we had Manila mangos. They are large yellow ones of very fine flavor. A common of other fruits seen in the markets were bananas, pears, and apples, a common growth on the Pasig river.
