I/O CULTIVATION AND MANUFACTURE OF TEA. 



The necessities for success in Tea are : 



1. A good climate. 



2. A good site. 



3. Perfect knowledge in Tea cultivation and Tea manu- 



facture on the proprietor's part or that of his 

 manager. 



4. Seed from a high class of plants. 



5. Local or cheap imported labour. 



6. Facilities for manuring. 



7. Cheap transport 



Do not dispense, though, with even one of the seven points 

 named, for the truth is simply, that Tea will pay very well 

 with all the above advantages, but will utterly fail without 

 them. 



Such is my advice to intending beginners. To those who 

 have gardens, I say, reduce your areas till of the size you 

 can really cultivate them highly, and procure manure at any 

 cost. 



I shall not have written in vain, and Tea enterprise in 

 India will flourish, if the motto of planters in future be, 

 ' A full area, highly cultivated.'
