CLOVES 



119 



Zanzibar and Pemba, where it now forms the chief article of 

 commerce, the crop in a single year sometimes reaching as 

 much as ten and a half million pounds. Indeed, these two 

 islands now produce the largest part of the world's supply 

 of cloves. 



Besides Zanzibar and Pemba, in our empire, Penang, 

 India, Ceylon, and the West Indies export cloves. 



SUMMARY. Of cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and ginger our 

 supplies are practically all derived from empire sources, while 

 of pepper more than half is British ; and though nutmegs 

 are at present mainly imported from foreign countries, 

 Grenada affords a promising source of future supplies. 



Not only so, but of cinnamon, cloves, and allspice, the 

 empire is the chief source of supply for the whole world.
