Tliree varieties are under test. The quality and flavour was excellent, though on 

 account of the dry season the yield of fruit was light. This plantation is some dis- 

 tance from the houses and so much of the fruit was taken by visitors that we are 

 not reporting the amount actually picked, as we feel it would be misleading.
