Sindli, and good aloes 

 are made from it. Cli- 

 mate similar to that of 

 Socotra. 



Dragon's Blood tree. Climate and affinity to So- 

 cotra, where it grows 

 wild. 



Flax. Climate very suitable to 



this plant. 



Egyptian cotton. Similarity in soil and cli- 

 mate. Cotton thrives 

 well in Meer Ali Moo- 

 rad's territory ; in fact, 

 it does so in all parts of 

 Sindh, and is suscepti- 

 ble of great improve- 

 ment in its cultivation, 

 as at present no atten- 

 tion is paid thereto. 

 Sindh cotton is of two 

 kinds, but that most 

 generally cultivated is 

 a perennial plant, the 

 roots being left in the 



♦ ground after the first 



crop. This saves trouble
