1IER1TIERA FRUIT. 



One of the best and most plentiful of the jungle fruits 

 is the heritiera, It grows in bunches resembling large 

 grapes, is agreeably sub-acid, and when ripe, of a yellow- 

 ish hue. The tree is small, and when arrayed with these 

 long golden bunches it is very beautiful. It would 

 be quite an acquisition to our gardens both for ornament 

 and utility.
