Demerara No. 117 still holds the lead among the recently intro- 

 duced varieties, and is a promising cane worthy of trial under the 

 diversified conditions of the islands. Yellow Caledonia, Demerara 

 No. 74, Cavengerie, Striped Singapore, Queensland No. l,and Queens- 

 land No. 7, also produced heavy yields. White Bamboo, Queensland 

 No. 7, Yellow Caledonia, and the unstriped cane which occasionally 

 appears in a stool of Big Ribbon are closely allied ; in fact between 

 White Bamboo and Yellow Caledonia there appears to be no difference, 

 and after four years trial it is impossible to distinguish one from 

 the other. 



The following new varieties will be planted out in June of this 

 year and will be harYested in 1906 : —

 Some of these are very promising canes and have a noteworthy 

 reputation in other countries, chief among them being : D. No. 115, 

 D. 145, B. No. 147, B. 15G, and B. 208. Regarding B. No. 147 one 

 West Indian planter writes : " B. No. 147 has the inestimable advan- 

 tage of being a rough cane outside, with a tough rind, and covered 

 with a coating of dry leaves, which, however, drops off readily when 

 the cane is fully ripe or cut. A spot of this cane which was lately 

 cut for plants, was remarkably free from the common cane borer of 

 which it was very difficult to find a single specimen." 



If B. No. 137 sustains its reputation when tried in Hawaii, it 

 will certainly prove a valuable acquisition in some localities. 



All of the varieties mentioned in this bulletin as having been 

 cropped during the present year and those which will be planted in 

 June, will be grown for seed for distribution in the spring. It is 

 believed that some of them will be found of value when grown under 

 the various island conditions. — Louisana Planter.
