Yamamomo (Myrica rubra), the candleberry myrtle. 

 Hori (Ananassa sativa), the pineapple. 

 Mango (Mangifera indica), the mango. 

 Maiigostecn (Garcinia Maugostana), the mangosteen. 

 Miyaslii tCocos nucifera), the cocoanut. 



The vegetables and fruits which I have mentioned are all grown out 

 of doors. In the neighbourhood of Tokyo the cultivation under glass of 

 some of them has been attempted, but not for commercial purposes. As 

 the standard of living of the people rises, I hope the use of plant-houses 

 for growing fruits for market will become more general, and will yield an 

 ample profit from a business point of view.
