A SPRIG OF SEEDLESS PEJIBAYES, NATURAL SIZE 



This excellent variety is cultivated in Costa Rica, and may be propagated, like the date palm, 

 by suckers or offshoots. The fruits here shown were grown in the garden of Don Jose Zeledon at 

 San Jose. When ripe, the pejibaye will keep for ten days or more in perfect condition, hence its 

 shipment to distant markets is readily possible. (Fig. 8.)
