Some Account of the Providence Pine Apples, &c. 207 



eleven pounds four ounces, and several of them ten pounds 

 and upwards ; there are two more yet to cut, which I think 

 will be from eight to ten pounds each, the remaining two 

 plants will not fruit till next year. 



" I understand from Mr. Baldwin, that he has treated 

 them exactly in the same way as he does his Queen Pines, 

 the particulars of which are given in his Practical Directions 

 for the Culture of the Ananas." 



Postscript. 



February 1, 1823. I have lately learned from Mr. Hunt, 

 that the two Pines mentioned above, which were uncut in 

 July last, when ripe, weighed nineteen pounds and a half, one 

 ten pounds, and the other nine pounds and a half. The two 

 remaining plants of the pit are now fruiting, and promise to 

 be very fine ; they will probably ripen in May.
