PINEAPPLES IN HAWAII
One of the Most Profitable Fruits Grown in That

after that time hand labor is necessary
The cost of production in the Hawaiian
Islands varies from $40 to $l5 per ton of
pineapples, and at the canneries prices
of from $40 to $27 per ton are paid for
the fruit. If the fruit is shipped fresh
to the Pacific or Eastern markets, prices
as high as from 5000 to $24O per ton
may be realized.
The chief variety of pineapple cult
waited in Hawaii is the Smooth Cayenne.
which is the kind grown in the Azores,
and the one which commands the highest
price in the London market. This vari-
ETY. does not do we'll in the West Indies,
where the Red Spanish is the most pop
ular and satisfactory kind to grow. The
Red Spanish is also grown to a. small
extent i'll the Hawaiian Islands. It may
be added that the experiments in ship
ping plneapples, conducted by the Ha-
Wailan Experiment Station, have shown
that this fruit, if carefully handled and
packed, can be shipped successfully to
distances of at least 5000 miles.

Fiber Yielding Agaves.

DR.. X. Braun, in Der PAanzer German
East Africa, 1906, gives an account of
all the fiber yielding Agaves. The fol
lowing abstract Includes the most i'm
pOrtant: -
Agave americana, called century plant
American aloe, carata, pits, magui, and
blue aloe. The fiber from this plant is
called sisal, pits, iXtle, magui, and Tam
pIco hemp. 1t is cultivated in Mexico
primarily for the preparation of the ma
tional drink, mescal. Puloue is prepared
from A. atrovirens
Agave decipiens, false sisal. This pro-
duces a finer, winter fiber than the true
slsal, but only half as strong. 1t is
sometimes mixed by mistake with sisal
in Florida and the Bahamas.
Agave heteracantha The fiber is
called pite or iXtle. 1t froms 90 per cent
of the commercial 'iXtle fiber from Mex
leo. The fibers are used instead of bris-
ties and for sacking and rope The plant
is not cultivated in Mexico, and the prep
aration of the fiber is done by the ma
tiVes.
Agave rigida, var. elongata; called
saqui or henequen. This is the common
est cultivated ASaVe IN 4ucatan. 1t has
flower stem no taller than feet. It
is an important fiber plant.
Agave rigida, var. sisalana This is
also called henequen or sisal. The flow
erstem is about 20 feet high 1t sell
dom ripens seed, but young plants grown
from bulbils on the flower stalks. 1t is
the most important fiber bearing Agave
Agave vivipara, called teometl, maguey,
Bombay aloe fiber, and Manila aloe fiber.
Planted in India, Guam, and the Philip
pines.
Agave yuccaefolia. The fibers are
prepared in South and Central America,
and come into commerce under the name
of pite fibers.
Wellbred and well-kept are two i'm
portant considerations when considering

Cannas.

Cannas are deserving of general plant
ing, especially with the gardener who
cannot give best and constant care to
the more tender plants. The Gamma will
stand neglect and yet give color to the
garden which few others will. Especial
ly is this the case with scarlet, low
growing ones, which all the summer
through insist on showing mass of red
against the dark green leaves, which
makes beautiful contrast.
Stools may be divided now; in fact,
at most any time of the year.
