trial in Mozambique. The native names of the 

 choicest kinds are : Sukari (two varieties), 

 Kiguruwe, Kizungu (red and green), and the

 could also be obtained there ; celebrated for the 

 size of the fruit (up to 17 and 19 lb.), the small- 

 ness of the core, the flavour and tenderness of 

 pulp. It would probably pay to give pineapples 

 a little more room than is usually granted them — 

 2^ to 4 feet for large sorts.
