206 CULTIVATION AND MANUFACTURE OF TEA. 



make the Tea they like, if they will buy it. It is early to 

 speculate much as to America, but I think we shall succeed 

 little by little, especially as in the States they are awaking 

 to the fact that both China and Japan Teas are adulterated. 

 In closing this chapter I must put on record the fact, 

 known to all in India, that the great success achieved in 

 Australia, and the opening thus early attained in America, 

 is entirely due to the labours of the Calcutta Tea 

 Syndicate, and that I firmly believe, much as they have 

 done, they would have done still more had they been 

 properly supported by larger supplies of Tea by the planters 

 in India, who, as a class, are strangely blind to the advan- 

 tages of co-operation. I can only hope in this respect they 

 will do better in future.
