PAST AND PRESENT FINANCIAL PROSPECTS OF TEA. 9 



The manufacture of Tea (though still progressing) is 

 simple, economical, and more or less known. Anyhow a 

 beginner now will commence where others have left off. 



Of course to buy a made garden cheap is better than to 

 make one ; but the result in this case is of course no criterion 

 of what profit may be expected from Tea cultivation. 



As many of the items to be calculated under the heads of 

 cultivation, manufacture, and receipts will be better under- 

 stood, after details on these subjects are gone into, I shall 

 reserve the consideration of ' how much profit Tea can give ' 

 to the end of this treatise.
