Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ornamental Hibiscus in Hawaii For many years there has been a growing interest in hibiscus in Hawaii. Several admirers of this ornamental plant in their travels about the world have lost no Opportunity to secure desirable varieties of hibiscus for planting. At least thirty-three varieties have been brought from other regions to Hawaii. These forms, together with the eight or more species native to Hawaii, have furnished excellent stock from which to obtain numerous forms which we now have as the result of crossing. One point in favor of the use of hibiscus as an ornamental plant, either in hedges or as individual plants, is the fact that it is relatively free from serious insect pests and fungus diseases. In a region where the attacks of insects are likely to bring about a ragged con dition of the foliage this relative immunity is an important point to consider. The work which this Station has done with ornamental hibiscus began in June, 1909, and has been carried on continuously since that date. The growing demand from the military posts about Honolulu and from private individuals in Honolulu and elsewhere in Hawaii for cuttings, has made it necessary to have a large variety o of hibiscus from which to select cuttings for distribution. The Station has distributed upon request about hibiscus cut tings, and the demand for this ornamental plant is growing from month to month. As a further evidence of the interest taken in hibiscus in Honolulu it may be mentioned that a hibiscus society was formed in 1911, with the Object of studying the forms of hibiscus which are now to be found in Hawaii, stimulating interest in the more desirable varieties and calling attention to the possibility of Obtaining these for ornamenting gardens and grounds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Derivation of the Flora of Hawaii Owing to their extreme isolation, the Hawaiian Islands are of special interest both to the geographer and the biologist. With a combined area of 6,454 square miles, they are further removed from any continental area than is any other region of equal size upon the globe. They are 2,000 miles from North America, the nearest continent, and the nearest islands of any importance, the Marquesas, are 1,860 miles distant. There are two very different views held as to the origin of the archipelago. The one most commonly accepted is that the islands, which are entirely volcanic, were thrown up by volcanic activity from the ocean depths, and that they have always been completely isolated. At present the archipelago is surrounded by very deep water. Within forty miles of the shores the ocean is upward of 10,000 feet in depth, and between the islands and the American coast is an enormous area of deep water, in places reaching more than 20,000 feet in depth. It is believed by some students of the subject, however, that the islands have not always been so isolated as at present. This view has recently been taken by Pilsbry. The advocates of this theory believe that there was formerly a much larger area of land in the Pacific, including Hawaii, which was connected more or less intimately with the great land masses of the Southern Pacific, now represented by Australasia and Indo-Malaysia. The multitude of islands constituting Polynesia is believed to be merely the remains of a once extensive land mass, - either a single continent, or several large continental islands, like Australia. This great continental area has been undergoing subsidence since early Tertiary times, and the islands now existing are the tips of mountain masses, - often volcanic, - superimposed upon this submerged continental area. Should this latter hypothesis prove correct, we must assume that the large volcanic masses, rising to nearly 14,000 feet in the case of Mauna Kea, have been formed upon a land area which has sunk in the course of ages as many feet below its former level, since on nearly all sides the archipelago is at present surrounded by very deep water.

Book excerpt: Beautifully illustrated with more than 700 images, The Aloha Shirt: Spirit of the Islands tells the colourful stories behind the marvellous Hawaiian shirts: as cultural icons, evocative of the mystery and the allure of the Islands; as collectibles, valued by professional collectors and by the millions of tourists who still cherish the shirts hanging in their wardrobes; and as a lifestyle - casual, relaxed and fun. Drawing from hundreds of interviews, newspaper and magazine archives, and personal memorabilia, the author evokes the world of the designers, seamstresses, manufacturers and retailers of the Golden Age of the Aloha shirt (from the 1930s to the end of the 1950s), who created the industry and nurtured it from its single-sewing-machine shop beginnings to an enterprise of international scope and importance. Here are the fun-loving 1960s; interviews with collectors who preserve these shirts as fine works of art; and insights into the roles of coconut buttons, matched pockets, woven labels and exotic fabrics in the evolution of the Aloha shirt.
