CHINESE WINTER CABBAGE. 
Among new plants referred to in Bul¬ 
letin 89, of the Office of Foreign Seed and 
Plant Introduction, is a large variety of 
Chinese Winter cabbage, coming from 
near Tientsin, called “Ta pai tsai.” Chi¬ 
nese Winter cabbage is a vegetable of 
first-class quality, having a rich flavor all 
its own. It is very much easier digested 
than the ordinary cabbage and emits no 
offensive odors when boiled. It can be 
served in many different ways, and may 
be eaten boiled or stewed, raw, pickled 
or salted. To obtain the best results a 
rich, well-worked soil is needed; the 
plants must have a space of about two 
feet in all directions, and they must be 
regularly cultivated, and they must never 
suffer for lack of sufficient soil moisture. 
The best time for sowing the seed is about 
the end of July or early in August ; for 
regions with a very long Summer even 
later will suffice. To keep them during the 
Winter the Chinese proceed this way: 
After the first heavy night frost the cab¬ 
bages are pulled out by a twist of the

A PHILIPPINE BREAD FRUIT. 
The Office of Foreign Seed and Plant 
Introduction, in Circular No. 89, gives 
rhe interesting picture of Artocarpus 
odoratissimus shown in cut below. This 
plant is known as the marang, and Mr. 
P. J. Wester, in charge of Lainao Experi¬ 
ment Station, who collected seeds of this 
plant, says: 
“These seeds were collected in Zambo¬ 
anga during my recent trip to Mindanao. 
This is my second opportunity to test the 
marang, and I have no hesitation to de¬ 
clare it as one of the coming tropical 
fruits even in its present undeveloped 
state. It is very sweet and rich in flavor, 
and has the unique quality of having a 
flesh that separates readily and absolute¬ 
ly from the seeds and the skin. As far 
as I have been able to ascertain, the 
marang occurs only on the south coast of 
Mindanao and in the Sulu archipelago. 
On my return to Manila I met on the 
Quality Sprayers for every purpose. Manpower and Horse Power for field and orchards. Barrel and Power Sprayers all give high pressure and produce vapor 
spray that kills scale, prevents blight and scab, and rids your crops of all fungus and insect pests. Hurst Sprayers have brass ball valves and ail the working parts that

THE MARANG—A PHILIPPINE BREADFRUIT. 
‘Reamer a missionary who had lived in 
Borneo for three years, part of which 
time was spent in Sandakan. She had 
neither heard of nor seen the fruit before. 
The marang will probably not succeed 
except where the climate is warm and 
humid throughout the year and the at¬ 
mosphere close and still. The tree is also 
known as madang. It is a medium-sized 
tree with large dark-green leaves, entire 
or more or less conspicuously trilobate, 
18 to 24 inches long and 10 to 12 inches 
broad, similar in habit to the breadfruit, 
and is found on the south coast of Min¬ 
danao and in the Sulu archipelago, and 
was first described from Mindoro. The 
fruit is large, about six inches long and 
five inches in equatorial diameter, round¬ 
ish oblong, regular, thickly studded with 
soft greenish-yellow spines about onc- 
third of an incli in length on the outside; 
rind thick and fleshy; flesh white, sweet, 
rich, juicy, aromatic and of good flavor, 
separated into segments (of about the 
size of a grape) clinging to the core; 
each segment containing a seed ; seeds 
many, whitish, one-third by three-fifths 
of an inch, smooth, separating readily 
from the flesh. When the fruit is ripe, 
by passing a knife around and through 
the rind, with a little care the two halves 
separate from the flesh, leaving this like 
a bunch of white grapes. Ripe fruits 
were obtained in August. The marang is 
far superior to its relatives, the jak and 
the ordinary breadfruits found in the 
Philippines.” 
The ordinary breadfruit, Artocarpus in- 
cisa, and the jak or jack-fruit, A. inte- 
grifolia, furnish a staple food in the Pa¬ 
cific islands, and are also grown freely 
in the West Indies, and in all countries 
favorable to their growth. The bread¬ 
fruit was first brought iuto notice in 
Europe through the voyages of Captain 
Cook, and in 1787 the British Govern¬ 
ment sent the ship Bounty, under the 
command of Captain Bligli, to Otalieite, 
to secure a cargo of young trees for 
naturalization in the West Indies. The 
historic mutiny of the Bounty and the 
perils of Captain Bligli, who. with a few 
companions, was set adrift 3.01 S miles 
from help, are well known. He made a 
second journey on the same mission in 
the ship Providence, and in 1793 bread¬ 
fruit trees were flourishing in Jamaica, 
and with the cocoanut and banana, com¬ 
prise the chief food of many tropical 
countries. 
hand, the earth roughly shaken off the 
roots and the plants left lying on the field 
for a day or so to dry them off; then 
the outer leaves are pulled off, the dry 
soil beaten from the roots and the cab¬ 
bages brought to dry dug-out cellars, 
where they are neatly stored layer on 
layer with the heads facing the entrance. 
Dry straw is now put over them and the 
whole covered with a heavy coat of soil. 
When stored carefully they last until 
late next Spring. The roots must never 
be cut off. as otherwise the plants begin 
to rot. When grown for seed the roots 
with just an inch or so of the leaf-stumps 
left on them are planted out in the 
Spring on a special piece of land, where 
the soil is not too heavy. They soon form 
new rootlets, and in a short time stalks 
rise up with but very scanty foliage and 
bearing pale yellow flowers. The process 
of setting seeds takes but little time. 
When all goes well one has fresh seeds 
again in early or middle July. From the 
climate of North China it is believed this 
cabbage will do well where the days are 
warm but the night dry and oool.
