Abstract: We cultivated some Mangos from Pakistani seeds during 1972 at Yuanjing county in Yunnan Province. There were only four numbers with no denomination of varieties attached. Out of more than 100 seedlings, we selected 21 and planted them at the Mango plantation. Some of them began to blossom and fruit at 1976, and good harvest was obtained at 1978, During 4 years observation, we selected some seedlings and gave their names at: "Gan Lu", "Huang Pi Da Tou", "Mi Yan Mang", "Qin Pi Xiang", and "Qiang Jiang".They have grown robustly with a high yield of fruits and a low percen-tage for fallen. They have possessed the resistance of fungi and insects. Some of them (of seven-years age) yielded 35 up to 105 Kgs.
