Bulletin 84

Sporting a new cover and artsy photos throughout – but leaving the time-honored text inside completely intact – the classic “Taro Varieties in Hawai?i” is reprinted and available for purchase.

Originally published in 1939 by L.D. Whitney, F.A.I. Bowers, and M. Takahashi, it is available for $15 from UH Press and CTAHR’s Urban Garden Center.

“This classic treatise has lost none of its magic since the original Bulletin No 84 was published eight decades ago,” says Robert Paull of the Dept. of Tropical Plant and Soil Sciences. “More than a fun read, it contains an overview of kalo varieties and agriculture science that is of great practical benefit for growers.”
