CULTIVATION AND MANUFACTURE OF TEA. 



A closely planted garden will grow less weeds than a 

 widely planted one, and will consequently be cheaper to 

 work. 



As the expenditure on a garden is in direct proportion to 

 the area, and the yield in direct proportion to the number of 

 plants (always supposing there is power enough in the soil 

 to support them), it follows that a closely planted garden 

 must be very much more profitable than the reverse. 



Hybrid plants grow to a larger size than Chinese, and 

 should therefore have more room. 



The following is a useful table : 



Table showing the Plants to an Acre, and the Area one lakh of 

 seedlings will cover, at the distances named. 



On flat lands I advise 



Hybrid, if high-class . 4 x 3^ or 4^ x 4 



Chinese 3x3 



All the following equal one acre : 



4 roods. 4,840 square yards. 

 160 poles. 43,560 feet.
