In a message dated 97-04-24 09:36:45 EDT, you write:
<< The question is...was grapefruit discovered
by a 15th C. explorer like I heard, or a 19th Century hybrid like
Adamantius heard. Do you know?

It appears as if both of the above are wrong! :-0 The following was taken
verbatim from "Fieldbook of Naturqal History" , ed. Palmer/Fowler, 2nd
Edition, pg. 228:
"Native of Asia, but planted widely particularly in Florida, California,
Texas, and Lousiana..............Introduced commersially into the United
States in 1809............"
It goes on to say that the pink-fleshed type, Thompson and Foster varieties
have been developed since then.
What a hoot! Who'd have tho't! :-)
