 cabbage, onion, beet, raddish, lettuce, asparagus, beans,

The Hawaiian Islands may be said to be capable of 

 developing an almost absolute independence so far as 

 food supply, wearing material, and woods for fuel and 

 construction are concerned. The long list of food prod-

 have everything which could be desired in that direction. 

 In addition to vegetable food materials, we produce beef, 

 mutton, pork, poultry of all kinds, and eggs, as also an 

 abundance of deer, pheasants and other game birds, and 

 an unusual variety of fish in our waters. Last year about 

 1,000 tons of honey were produced in the Islands. To 

 those who are interested in fiber plants and wearing ma-

 the very highest on the market; that our cotton has been 

 declared, by the Bremen Cotton Exchange, to be of the 

 finest quality which they have ever seen; and that in 

 addition to these fibers, we can produce Manila hemp, 

 bow-string hemp, a long list of native fibers, silk and 

 wool. We are also well supplied with leather made from 

 the hides of cattle, sheep, goats and deer. In the matter 

 of woods for furniture and ornamental purposes, there is 

 nothing which can surpass the koa. Bamboo is also 

 present in suflficient quantities for ornamental construc-

From this list of agricultural products, which are now 

 successfully grown in Hawaii, it is apparent that the 

 farmer from any country may make a selection which will
