Excerpt from Papaya Culture in HawaiiPapaya (uarica papaya) investigations have been conducted at the Hawaii Agricultural Experiment Station since 1902. During the past eight years the investigations have been confined prin cipally to a determination Of the cultural requirements and methods Of improving the species. Completion Of the work has been greatly retarded because Of the unsettled habits Of the plant. Its tendency to exhibit marked variations in nature and growth Of fruit was Observed in other countries by Correa de mello and Spruce (15, p. In 1869, by Forbes p. 313) in 1879, by solms-laubach (18) in 1889, by Iorns (10) in 1908, and by Kulkarni (12) in 1915.
