   "These 
  seeds 
  came 
  from 
  a 
  very 
  interesting 
  fruit 
  of 
  good 
  size, 
  good 
  shape, 
  pretty 
  

   appearance, 
  second 
  quality, 
  and 
  having 
  large 
  seeds; 
  the 
  skin 
  is 
  as 
  thick 
  as 
  the 
  shell 
  of 
  

   a 
  coconut, 
  but 
  not 
  so 
  hard. 
  It 
  resists 
  well 
  a 
  pretty 
  hard 
  shock 
  and 
  pressure 
  and 
  would 
  

   be 
  very 
  good 
  for 
  shipping."

  procured 
  them 
  from

  "Seed 
  of 
  a 
  curious 
  corn 
  that 
  in 
  Ecuador 
  gives 
  great 
  results. 
  I 
  gave 
  some 
  to 
  my 
  

  

  friends 
  and 
  everywhere 
  it 
  grew 
  extraordinarily, 
  from 
  3 
  to 
  4 
  meters 
  high, 
  but 
  did 
  not 
  

  

  produce 
  seed, 
  I 
  suppose 
  for 
  want 
  of 
  temperature. 
  The 
  stalks 
  were 
  so 
  high 
  and 
  thick 
  

  

  that 
  they 
  looked 
  like 
  bamboos."

   "Some 
  of 
  these 
  fruits 
  were 
  from 
  a 
  tree 
  producing 
  fruits 
  nearly 
  spherical. 
  This, 
  

   however, 
  I 
  judge 
  to 
  be 
  merely 
  a 
  variation 
  from 
  the 
  type."

  "The 
  plant 
  from 
  which 
  these 
  bulbs 
  were 
  obtained 
  has 
  formed 
  no 
  trunk 
  and 
  is 
  evi- 
  

   dently 
  dying 
  off 
  after 
  having 
  produced 
  its 
  offspring. 
  Leaves

  mature, 
  about 
  

   2 
  meters 
  long 
  by 
  15 
  to 
  20 
  centimeters 
  broad. 
  I 
  do 
  not 
  know 
  whether 
  it 
  is 
  a 
  species 
  of 
  

   industrial 
  value. 
  Here 
  in 
  my 
  garden 
  the 
  leaves 
  have 
  proved 
  very 
  durable 
  and 
  strong 
  

   for 
  tying, 
  for 
  making 
  mats 
  to 
  cover 
  delicate 
  plants,
