RARE FRUITS IN PHILIPPINES
and Unknown in the Rest
of the World.

Among the productions of the Phil
lppine islands are two delicious fruits
almost unknown in the rest of the
world. One of these is the DURAN,
whose remarkable qualities were des-
canted upon by Alfred Russell Wal
lace during his explorations in the
Malay archipelago.
1t grows on a lofty tree somewhat
resembling an elm, is about as large
as a coconut. has a shiny shell, and
contains a creamy pulp which COM
bines some of the flavor of a delicious
custard with those of a fine cheese.
To eat durians. we are told by those
who know, is a new sensation worth
voyage to the East to experience
Americans in the islands call the du-
rian ''the vegetable Limburger cheese"
The other rare fruit spoken of is the
mangosteen, said to be the only fruit
that the governor general of the is
lands has never tasted. The exquis-
itely favored liquid it contains can
not be preserved for shipping abroad
