It is only a few years ago that its foundations were laid, and less than a decade since any rapid development began. As is often the case with new enterprises, it was the subject of scorn and ridi cule, and land which now smiles with its golden harvest of fruit was said to be useless for any purpose except the grazing of a few cattle. The industry is now well established, and although there are many unsolved problems connected With the growing and marketing of the crop, the experimental stage is well past and the attention of homesteaders and capitalists is being at tracted to this new field. With the recent Opening of Govern ment lands in various parts of the pineapple belt for homestead ing, has come a demand for information relative to methods of growing pineapples in Hawaii. This station has published sev eral bulletins dealing with special phases of the subject, suchas the management of pineapple soils,1 the manganese problem,2 the pineapple scale,3 and the marketing of the fresh fruit on the mainland,4 but no publication covering the field in general has been issued. This paper is presented as an attempt to bring together in a simple way the results of experience on the more important aspects of pineapple cultivation in Hawaii, but While general in its scope it makes no attempt at an exhaustive treat ment.
