CULTIVATION AND MANUFACTURE OF TEA. 



Do all this and you will find your garden is kept clean 

 and well cultivated, at far less cost than you incurred for 

 cultivation when it was choked with weeds for months 

 together, while your yield will be at the same time much 

 increased. 



If you keep your garden thus clean, and do not allow 

 the weeds to get ahead of you, the following table shows 

 about the cost of each cultivation operation each time you 

 do it : 



If weeds get ahead the cost in each case will be nearly 

 double the above. 



The following table, which is as near the mark as any 

 such estimate can be, will be found useful. It will also be 

 made use of when calculating the cost of making a garden 

 in Chapter XXIX., pages 164, 165, and 166. 



Table showing the cost per annum of keeping up at its best 

 100 acres of Tea from the year it is planted until the 

 sixth year inclusive.
