GENERAL REMARKS. 



MADRAS. 



Winter and dress figs, mulberries, and custard apples. Dress 

 pines in September, .and remove the suckers, and dress again 

 with stable manure, red earth, and sand, in January. Sprouts 

 of cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, and knolkhol, taken in 

 February, March and April, and even in May, afford a good 

 vegetable during the hot season. 



Plantains, pine-apples, and figs, may be watered in the morn- 

 ing ; but everything else in the evening only. The seed peas 

 that answer best for Madras are those from Bangalore the 

 common white pea of Mysore. The best carrot, turnip, and 

 onion seed is from Hyderabad ; knolkhol from the Cape ; and 

 cabbage, cauliflower, beet, and celery, from England : other 

 seeds from Bangalore and the Neilgherries. 



Good manure for all sorts of flowers, is red earth and sheep's 

 dung, in nearly equal quantities. 



BANGALORE. 



The meteorological observations of three years 1834-5-6 

 were one very hot, and one very rainy season : this may there- 

 fore be regarded as a very fair average when taken together.
