Maiz

Corn, maiz, canvass and every kind of vegetables are growing on with the least amount of culture, the land being so fat and rich in virtues. So a ploughshare and a rake of epinous branches are sufficient to sow corn; what is to be done since the 15th of May until the 15th of July, without any need of other work to the harvest-time.

INDIAN CORN (Maiz).—Consular statements to the contrary, this is an important product for local consumption in many portions of the island, especially flourishing on the uplands.
