Ripe beans and blossoms on the same tree — San Antonio Light, 26 Aug 1923
The San Antonio Light of 26 August 1923 (page 63) includes a short boxed item on the coffee tree bearing fragrant blossoms and fruit at many stages of ripeness at once—typical of the “coffee education” sidebars the paper ran next to the Hoffmann-Hayman factory features. The export uses Newspapers.com page 1258680699, the same view as the Nagel profile and “Roasting process must be seen” clip.
