VARIETIES OF POMELOS 3 AND SHADDOCKS 



Pomelos, shaddocks, and grapefruit are native to parts of 

 Malaya and the East Indian Islands. Their cultivation has now 

 extended to the frostless parts of many countries. The pomelo, 

 like several other kinds of citrus, is evidently of early introduc- 

 tion into Hawaii. Hillebrand (17, p. 77), whose observations in 

 Hawaii were made before 1871, stated that Citrus decumana has 

 been so long in cultivation as almost to claim a place in the flora 



3 The name "pomelo," possibly a contraction of the Dutch "pompelmoes" 

 (8, v. 5, p. 2857), is now recognized by all horticultural writers.
