    receiving attention from the Unitea Fruit Corupany in Honduras~

    Costa Rica and Panama was plant ed here experimentally four years

    ago without much hope of success, since the species is native to

    the warn1 rain forest region of the PhiliPptneso To our surpr1se 1

    tbe trees have gro-wn quite well, and at ·che end of the year a few

    THE VEGET ABLE GARDEN

    Ever since Vle started the schcol ·!le have devoted much attention

    to testil .g vegetables, vti th a view to f~miliarising the students wi th

    the cultul'e of vegetable crops'} and to tbt· production of a vdde range

    for ~- :'\e Mess Hall o Having in mind the de ::.. ·ability of encouraging

    a wider use df vegetables in the tropical AL~rican dietary~ we have

    considered this to be a particularly important feature of our work o

    It is under the direction of Jaime Villegas o

    Except du.ring the autumn, when heavy rains interfere se:riously

    wi t h garden operations~ we are able to have ñVailable at all times

    at least 10 varieties of vegetableso The ru~ st popular ltems are

    tomatos~ lcttuce, green peppars, cabbage 9 c~rrots and beetso

    We have not yet found a var1ety of green or "string" beans

    which is very successful here o The Carolina or Sieva Lima bean

    is a standby, though the bush Limas have nG ~ oeen successfulo All

    of the beets do well practically throughout the year o Broccoli

    13 quite successful but not very popularo All of the cabbage

    varieties so far tried are wholly successful during practically all

    Cit~ys Fruits. The orchards planted in 1943 commenced to bear

    during the year, but the only varietiss or which we have had suffi-cient fruit, so far, to be of any importr.nce are the Ponderosa and

    Meyer or Chinese lemons. We need to ezpand considerably our plantings

    of oranges, as this is an extremely popular fruit with students.

    Mañgoso The orchard of 12 varieties planted in 1943 bore its

    first fruits during the year, but the quantity was not large enough

    to ~e of any consequence~ The d~grf variety Julie looks particularly

    promising~

    fiVQCQdos~ Due to soil condition~ ir. the particular area where

    t.hB orchard was planted, the trees are suffering badly and many of

    them have died~ We made a small plantine on better soil but do not

    feel hopeful of developing orchards whic ~ill prove permanently

    satisf~ctory unless we put them on the well-drained sandy land down

    by the Yeguare river, wbere it is practica11y impossible to control

    thefto

    Ein~apul~. A field was established, with several thousand

    plants of four varieties, which will come into production in 1947o

    Grapes. We have one of the fine~experimental collections in

    tropical America, including more than 50 vurieties. It is not to

    be expected that we can 0o much with European (vinifera) gr~pes

    here, because of the diseases to which they are subject? but we have

    hopee for sorne of the American hybrics and especially for the

    hybrids produced by Joseph Lo Fennell of the Instituto Interamerica-

    no de Ciencias Agricolas, two of which came j_nto bearing at the end
