"You will see, by tasting it that the pulp is very aromatic and sweet. Its principal use is for jellies and preserves, and the rind stewed with milk makes an excellent marmalade."
"Have you found many of them?"
"There are several trees over there, and it seems to me that it is a good place to put up for the night, and we can gather a quantity of them."
Several trees were in sight, about 18 feet high, beautiful branching specimens, and beneath one of them the camp was made for the night.
While they were seated the Professor noticed the branch which George had brought. It was a stem about two feet long, with a lot of leaves on each side, and at the juncture of the leaves with the stem were rows of what appeared to be nuts. These were in the form of clusters.
He picked it up. "I thought I had made a good find in the guava, but this is still better."
"The nuts around the stem are what attracted me, and my curiosity was aroused."
"You took this from the coffee tree."
