NUM NUM— THE CVN0MET1U CAULTFLOfU, 

 This shrub yields a thin oblong fruit with a flat 

 kernel. In taste it approat lies nearer to the apple 

 than perhaps any other truly eastern fruit doe*. 

 The shrub » scraggy and resembles the eustard-ap~ 

 pie shrub in some degree. The fruit, however, is 

 Cached to the branch or stem. It does not beaf un- 

 til t6e 7th or 8lii year, hn cultivation is confined 

 to one or two gardens but ii desenres more attention 

 than it has yet received. It was introduced from 

 Malacca. 



THE LIME. 



The cultivation lof this tree is quite irregular, 

 Every campong or native garden contains some 

 trees. An orlong, if regularly planted out, would 

 yield produce of the value of 140 Sp. dollars. 

 Hut like other fruit trees, its cultivation, if much 

 extended, would destroy profits. The chief market 

 perhaps for this and other fruits is that oftheship- 

 pin&i and the lime might yet be cultivated to a consi- 

 derable extent with advantage. The wild lime, which 

 is both s»n and astringent, grows along the dry 

 sandy beach of Proviiu e Hello!* \, 



BUAll NONA— CUBTAXID APPLE. 



It is too well known to need a description. 

 THE MULBERRY. 



This tree or shrub thrives easily and grows to 

 the height of 20 fert at least. No attempt to rear 

 th ilk* worm has been made yet. As the food for 

 it could be raised to any extent, without interfering 

 with' other cultivation, there seems no reason why it 

 should not succeed, as at Athecn, w here the natives 

 understand its management.
