 day and confinement by night to be very injurious. He opens 

 his back lights in any kind of weather close to the trees. In

slant air without actually allowing the temperature to fall to 32^. and Sirinaghur. 



In this manner he proceeds very slowly until the blossoms are all very useful in Nipaul. The fruit is like that of a common 



set. He subsequently raises the temperature to 65®, and after- cherry ; it is refreshing, but not very sweet. The tree is found 



wards gradually to 70*^, increasing the moisture of the atmos* 

 phere at the same time, and always taking care to keep the ven- 

 tillation as abundant as he possibly can. By which means he 

 finds the crop certain and abundant without the use of any kind 

 of bottom heat, as tan leaves, &c. 



in the south of Hindostan, Nipaul, Kamaon, Deyra, Sirmore, 

 and elsewhere in great abundance. Puddiim is the vernacul; 

 name of the tree.
