Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches, and a synopsis of the vegetable kingdom cyclopediaofamer03bail Year: 1906 714 HAWAIIAN ISLANDS been spent in the 'improvement' of home grounds, and some architectural gardening is to be found, but natu- ralistic landscape gardening is, as yet, iu its infancy in the islands, though nature furnishes so many excellent types. Possibilities of Horticulture. —There can be no doubt that the climates and the qualities of the soils are such as to give to this country a very brilliant fu- ture in the production of varied and superior horticul- tural products. The amount of available land, however, is limited, since the larger tillable tracts are already used in the production of sugar-cane, and will probably remain so occupied. Still there are a good many small areas admirably adapted to horticulture. Then, too, the matter of market is one which must be considered, since for all articles which cannot be shipped on a six days' voyage, the cultivator is limited at present to but one city of about 30,000 inhabitants and another good-sized town. Again, the highly devel- oped horticulture of California lies between Hawaii and the great American markets. These home towns, how- ever, are likely to double and treble their present popu- lation during the next few years, and while there are to-day many tons of fruit and vegetables imported from California on every cold-storage steamer which arrives, there does not seem to be immediate cause for alarm regarding the market. An outlet for fruits and vege- tables during the winter season is hoped to be found in California, and a colony of American settlers is now de- veloping this trade.
