54 CHAPTER VI. 



The native name for Hemp, "Canaba," is the 

 same as the Greek, and as the scientific name of the 

 plant, Cannabis. 



Madura, the so called Osage Orange, is grown in 

 several of the gardens on the Cimiez hill, and I 

 suppose elsewhere on the Riviera. It is a good-sized 

 tree. The fruits do not seem to ripen, or to have 

 their peculiar fragrance. They fall off before they 

 are as large as a Mandarin orange.* We found them 

 useful for rounders ; but they hurt if they reach their 

 aim, for they are very solid.

* Madura at La Mortola produces fruit quite uneatable, but larger 

 than a St. Michael orange. T. H.
