55. P. gtiiiicense. The Guinea guavu. 



Recently introduced by this station, but not yet in the producing stage. 



56. Piniica granatinn. Granada. Pomegranate. 



Grown seatteringly on the island and eaten fresh from the tree. It is 

 not particularly esteemed here, the variety being a very inferior one. 



57. Sandoricum i)idicuin. Santol. 



The species is represented in Guam by a few trees that were introduced 

 from INIanila a few years ago. It has fruited but has not become dis- 

 tributed or j\-ell known to the people. 



58. Stercnlia acuminata {Cola acuminata). Kola-nut. 



Introduced from Ceylon by this station during the fiscal year 1911, but 

 not yet fruiting. 



59. Tamarindvs iiidica. Kamalindo. The tamarind. 



The trniarind ha.s been introduced and is grown to a limited extern for 

 its acid fruit. 



60. Tenninalia catappa. Talisai. Indian almond. 



This large tree is common and is husbanded by the inhabitants for the 

 seed, the kernel of which is generally eaten in the fresh form. 



61. Theohroma cacao. Kakao. The chocolate tree. 



Cacao was cultivated much more extensively during former years than 

 it is at present. The plantations suffered much damage from the 

 typhoons which visited the island in 1900. and the industry has never 

 fully recovered. Chocolate of a very superior quality is made from the 

 bean, but not in sufHcient quantities to supply the local demand.

Very common throughout the island, growing in uncultivated thickets. 

 The fruit is sometimes eaten fresh or employed in the preparation of a 

 conserve.

Three varieties of the muscadine grape have been introduced by this 

 station and are gi'owing nicely. They have not yet pi'oduced fruit.

An edible fruit grown to some extent in Guam. 



65. ZAzplius jiijuha. Manzanitas. The jujube.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT. 



In concluding this report it i.s proper that mention be made of the 

 many courtesies and aid extended the station by the present governor, 

 Capt. G. R. Salisbury, United States Xavy, and of the efforts being 

 made by the island's chief executive to bring about increased pro- 

 duction and to better the condition of the people by encouraging the 

 development of agriculture, the only resource of the island.
