As a fruit crop, fhfs papaya is grown from seeds. Seeds started in
Florida, in ,January or February should give fruiting plants the
foliowing winter. ‘The seeds are sown in iight sandy soii about onehalf
inch deep ; care should be taken to prevent damping afi ;
plants may be placed in pots when they have made the third leaves,
and from the pots (after anot.her shifting) transferred to permanent
qliarters.
The papa>.a. plant ma.\- be graft.ed, specia! varieties thus being
prrpetunted. Thr old piant is cut 03 and shoots form along the
trunk. Tl NW are use(l as cions, being cut to wedge-shape at the
lowtar end and inserteff in vigorous seedlings which have been cut
hxck to X or 10 inches high. Shoots about the size of a lead pencil
art’ chosen for c’ions, and t.he leafage is partly removed. Seeds
started in February in Florida, according to Simmonds, will protlucc
stock large enough to graft in March; the grafted plants are
potted, and transferred to the field in late April or in May; they
should bear fruit in November or December.
