A Big Pinbapplis.— Can Ceylon equal what 
is thus told us by " Modern Mexico " :— 
The "father of pineapples," and one of the 
largest ever shipped from Mexico, was received 
by the Laguna Cliica Plantation Company, of Sb, 
Louis, last month, from its Mexican plantation. 
It was 18-i inches in length, 20J inches in cir- 
cumference ab the larger end, aud weighed 18 
pounds. It is claimed that the fruit is as delicate 
and delicious as any of the smaller kinds ot 
pineapples,
