That Grangers to this ifland, who intend to vifit it, may have the

 may foon learn to fupply themfelves, from the great garden of nature,

5f cave be not taken to keep them conflamly triinnietl ; \\\v:\\ they are futfercd to run wild, they 

 bloiTom, but never bear well. They are in feafou here about the latter end of June. Kahn 

 fay, that in 1749, an Eiiglinmian from Jamaica informeil him, there was none of this fruit in 

 the ifiand ; but he was certainly mifinlormcd, ior they were very plentilul here fo long fi nee as 

 the year 1 7 1 6, perhaps earlier. An old gentlewoman afl'ured me, that when the Duke of 

 Portland was Governor (about the year 1722), tlicy were in fuch abundance, that his table 

 was conllantly well fupplicd in the feafon. And I hit\'e ate large quantities of them in the 

 monihs ot June and July, brought from the Liguanca Mountains ; I have likewife feen them J 

 very flourldiinij in gardens in the low-lands. 

 \U\ A very ufeful oil may be extradled from tlic feeds of this plant.
