The "T. A." was started in June 1881 and bas been published regularly ever since. 

 As a magazine of inforination regarding products suited for cultivation in tbe Tropics it 

 is unrlvalled. Tea, Rubber, Cocoa and Coconuts are freely dlscussed wbile a feature of 

 the Journal is tbe attention paid to minor and new products. The "T. A.'' was one of the 

 first papers to reconnnend rubber planting— a South Indian planter writing us when the 

 rubber boom was on in 1907 said tbat if he had followed the advice to plant rubber when 

 first given to planters in the "T. A." more than a decade before, he would then have been 

 at home on retirement. Sir W. T. Thisleton Dyer, F.L.S., CM. G., of Kew Gardens 

 wrote:— "Sir Joseph Hooker and myself always look out for the successive numbers of 

 the "T. A." with eagerness, and I keep a file in my olfice for reference, it is impossible 

 to speak too highly of the utility of such a publication and of the way it is managed.
