NatIve Frutt and Preserves.

At the store of the California Produce
Company, on Hotel street, we saw yesterday
boxes of Spanish plums, a neat looking,
pleasantly favored fruit grown by Mr.. Lycan
in his Kalihi Valley orchard. The fruit re-
sembles black heart cherry in size and
color, and has slightly sub-acid taste with
a delicate guava flavor. It's appearance and
taste make it valuable addition to the
dessert table.
We also tested the papaia jam, which is
now made by Mr.. Lycan, and offered for
sale at the same place as the plums. This
jam is of an uncommonly fine flavor, re-
mfnding the consumer somewhat of pine
apple preserves. 1t is matter of surprise
20 many that such finely favored ''sweetie"
can be made from the papaia, and that, too,
At a very low cost Both the fresh plums
and the nice jam are we'll worth trial.
