Mr. Mesqulta, there Is a difference between Lcumoen (In Eng- 
lish Momoes) and Limoen, or Citrus limonum Risso. The 
Dutch name of Momoes is Porrvpelmoes and this is not cul- 
tivated on a large scale in Surinam. They are planted in 
the house gardens in the city and In the country. The 
fruit has not yet been selected and has not been used for 
Industrial purposes." (Samuels.) 
Cordia alba ( Jacq. ) Roem. & Schult. (Boraginaceae . ) 
40988. Seeds from Trinidad, Santa Clara Province, Cuba. 
"Ateje. A large shrub, 15 to 18 feet high, common along 
the eastern edge of the valley of San Luis. It is, bushy, 
branching close to the ground and sending up long stiff 
shoots well furnished with dark green foliage. The 
leaves are alternate, obovate to ovate-elliptical, three 
to four Inches long, with entire margin and the surface 
covered with short, bristly hairs; petioles about an inch 
long, terete. The flowers, which are pale yellow and 
about one-half Inch In diameter, are borne in broad, flat- 
topped corymbs sometimes a foot across. The oblong- obo- 
vate fruits are half an inch in length and pearly white 
when ripe, enclosing a single large seed. It is, appar- 
ently, a good mellferous plant, and of considerable orna- 
mental value. For trial in south Florida and California."

Cymbopogon coloratus (Hook . )Stapf . (Poaceae. ) 40896. Seeds 
of lemon grass from Suva, Fiji Islands. Presented by Mr. 
C. H. Knowles, Superintendent of Agriculture, Nasinu Ex- 
periment Station. "This grass is growing well on sloping 
ground, the soil of which is brownish red, not very good 
in quality. The ground was first ploughed and harrowed, 
and young plants from a seed-bed set out at distances of 
three feet. The space between the young plants was kept 
clean by weeding and the plants soon grew and covered the 
ground. Plants may be set out any time during wet weath- 
er, but from September to December is best. Under normal 
conditions the grass flowers about April or May, when 
about four feet high. After the grass has been cut it 
flowers irregularly during the year. The best time to 
cut appears to be when the grass is from three to four 
feet high but before it is heavily in flower. Subsequent 
cuttings may be made whenever the grass is over three feet 
high. Two cuttings may be depended on, while three may be 
made unless dry weather sets in for some time. The young 
grass is richer in oil than the older grass, but the total 
yield per acre obtained in the same time is less. "(Bul- 
letin No. 6, Fiji Department of Agriculture.)
