Mr. Barclay reports : — 



" All these have been prepared for exhibition by Dr. Burt, 

 British Botanical Association, York, and put up in large and 

 striking-looking jars, making a most attractive exhibit. They 

 occupy the side of the office which faces the main entrance to the 

 exhibition, and the fruit are on the fruit stall." 



NOTE ON THE GUANGO.* 



By R. H. B. HOTCHKIN. 



I find that for the first three years very good banana fruit may be 

 grown under the Guango trees if planted wide and the trees are 

 lofty. The Guango is, however, very impatient of too much water 

 and so, in course of time, the branches decay and of course cause 

 havoc amongst the fruit, — I shall have to do away with mine I 

 grieve to say for this reason. 



As a timber it is rather like poplar in that it cannot be used 

 outside unless well tarred ; — for furniture it is good and it makes 

 nice flooring, but it is at present very little used, as imported 

 lumber is far cheaper. For its beans it is of course invaluable and 

 should I think be found very useful in cocoa growing as a shade. 

 In Canada there would be an opening for importation there of the 

 Guango Bean.
