Eighteen arabica coffee introductions from the USDA germplasm collection were planted at 23° S latitude in Brazil from 1977 to 1982 to assess their yield potential and frost hardiness, compared with the cultivar Catuai Amarelo which is extensively planted in Brazil. Nine of the introductions had similar yields to Catuai Amarelo. Erecta T966 and Harrar yielded as well as Catuai Amarelo and were also more frost hardy. Tall, early maturing coffee varieties showed the least frost injury.

The purpose of this publication is to provide a brief description o-the cacao clones being held at the U.S. Plant Introduction Station, Mia.-ni, Fla. This information should be of value to cacao workers who are in need of disease-free, documented clonal stock. The material is available in small quantities for research purposes. Requests sent to the Miami station will be honored on an availability basis. It is not intended to duplicate in any way the more complete catalog being published by the
