Total expense to make the 3Oo-acre garden 83,257 



The garden is now made at a cost, including interest on 

 all outlay of Rs. 83,257, and I am very confident that a good 

 3oo-acre garden can, as set out, be made for that sum. The 

 rates assumed are so liberal that a fair margin is allowed for 

 bad seed or any other misfortune.

J The seed to be bought is now less each year, as it is produced on the 

 garden, and after the fifth year no more has to be purchased. From the 

 fourth, and all subsequent years, nurseries for vacancies are calculated at 

 Rs. 500, which is enough, as the garden has been previously yearly replenished. 

 This expenditure will be continual as long as the garden lasts, for there will 

 always be some vacancies to replace. 



Rupees 500 is a fair sum to estimate for ordinary annual repairs to build- 

 ings, and it will be required as long as the garden lasts. A temporary Factory 

 was made in 1877, and a permanent building is now allowed for in 1881. Per- 

 manent Manager's and Assistant's houses are also allowed for in 1882. The 

 garden can afford this now, for the profits are large. (See table at page 172.)
