n out of the savings made by workers in Honolulu, who are thus
preparing for themselves a provision for their early middle age. On the
Island of Hawaii are the great coffee districts of Olaa, Puna, Kona and
Hamakua, in each of which thriving coffee plantations are established,
while tens of thousands of acres of the very finest lands are yet
undisturbed. Government lands in these districts are being opened up for
settlement as fast as circumstances will permit.

On the Island of Maui there is a large area of splendid coffee lands.
The extensive land of Keanae belonging to the Government will be opened
for settlement as soon as the preliminary work of surveying is completed.

On the Island of Molokai the industry is making progress and there are
several plantations along the leeward valleys.

So also on the Island of Oahu there is much good coffee land, which is
being experimented upon, and considerable capital invested in the
undertaking.

As the case now stands for the investor, land can be obtained for coffee
growing in:--

ISLAND OF HAWAII.
North and South Kona,
Hilo,
Puna, including Olaa,
Hamakua.

ISLAND OF MAUI.
Keanae,
Nahiku,
Lahaina,
Kaupo.

ISLAND OF MOLOKAI.

ISLAND OF OAHU.

ISLAND OF KAUAI.

In addition to the large tracts of Government lands on Hawaii and Maui,
there are many fine tracts of first-class coffee lands owned or
controlled by private parties. It is the policy of the Government to
encourage the settlement of its lands by small farmers. Hence the amount
of land, granted to one party or that one party can take up, while amply
sufficient to enable one person or family, with honest endeavor, to
acquire an independence, is not large enough to offer inducements for
the employment of large amounts of capital.

That areas of land, for the establishment of large coffee plantations,
can be acquired is reasonably certain as large owners are evincing a
disposition to sell and lease their lands.

There is no agricultural investment that offers better opportunities for
the profitable employment of capital, than a well managed coffee estate.

CULTIVATION OF THE COFFEE TREE IN THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.

In order to obtain the best results the coffee tree requires to be
properly planted, and during its life time needs frequent and
intelligent cultivation.

The various operations incidental to the opening and car
