harvest, of twenty-three products, there are four species of fine 
wheat, viz. Guhoo Bukshee, Triticum spelta ; Kupleh Guhoo, 
Triticum ; Kateh Guhoo, Triticum - -; and Poh- 
teeyai, Triticum , called bellied wheat, from the seed 
being very much swelled out in the middle. Urburee, 
Cicer Arietinum; Shaloo, Andropogon saccharatum; Juw, 
Hordeum hexastichon® ; Watanah, Pisum sativum”; Kurdee, 
Carthamus Persicus ; Juwus, Linum usitatissimum; Mohuree, 
Sinapis racemosa, and two other kinds; Taag, Crotolarea 
juncea; Yerund Tambra, Ricinus communis* ; Yerund Eerwa, 
Ricinus viridis; Oos Tambra, Saccharum officinarum® ; 
Oos Poonda, Saccharum €; Oos Pandra, Saccharum 
f; Oos Bét, Saccharum, &; Shet Wallook, 
Cucumis ————, the literal meaning is field cucumber ; Paw- 
teh, Dolichos —,; Tumbakoo, Nicotiana tabacum; Shet 
Kapoos, Gossypium herbaceum®; Bhoeemoong, Arachis hy- 
pogew. 
The above are chiefly produced in the Desh, in the dry 
season. Urburee, Cicer arietinum, is the universal substitute 
for oats for horses; and, excepting in the rains when green 
grass is obtainable, the juicy, sweet, and nutritious stalks of 
the Shaloo, Andropogon sorghum, and varieties, is their 
only forage. Oil is expressed from the seeds of Kurdee, 
Juwus, Mohuree, and Yerand. Juwus is not used for its 
flax. Although there are four kinds of sugar-cane, and much 
raw sugar is produced, the processes of refining are not 
carried on. ‘The bark of Taag is used for ropes and coarse 
canvas. The returns from the wheat are very considerable ; 
I have a specimen of Kupleh Guhoo, with twenty-five stalks 
from one root, giving a return of 1450 for 1; ten stalks are 
very common; a specimen of the Kateh Guhoo, also in my 
possession, with fifteen stalks from a single root, giving a 
return of 480 for 1. The average on tolerable land is eight 
stalks or ears to a plant. The tobacco from some parts of 
the country is reckoned very fine. 
The dry season harvest of the hilly tracts is almost entirely 
confined to Mussoor, Ervum hirsutum; and Pawta, a variety 
of Dolichos Lablab. 
Garden produce.—The produce of the gardens is of great 
importance to the natives of India, from their poverty limiting 
them very much to a vegetable diet, corrected by aromatic 
seeds and condiments. Most of the plants cultivated in the
