tamato, cabbage cauliflower, Knol-kol, turnip, carrot, beet, 

 lettuce, artichoke, Jerusalem artichoke, palval, asparagus, &c ; 



(9) Pot-herbs or sags (P.H), e.g., Indian Spinash or 

 Puin-sdg (Basella alba and ruVa), Kalmi-sa"g (Ipomaea 

 sepiaria\ Chmp-note-sa*g (Amarantus polygamus), Cobra* 

 note (A. lividus), Dengo-sdg (A. giganticus), Pdlam, Beto- 

 sa*g (Chenopodium viride), Helancha sa*g (Hingcha repens), 

 Shushni sag (Marselia quadrifolia) ; 



(10) Miscellaneous crops (M), such as, sugarcane, Madur- 

 kati, bamboo, Ulu, Supari (Areca catechu\ mulberry, asan 

 (Terminalia tomentosa), cucumber, melons, chufa (Scirpus 

 kysoor), Sha"nka*lu (Dolichos glutinosus), date (Phcenix- syl* ' 

 vestris), Sago (Caroyta urens) ; 



(u) Fruits (FT), e.g. Mango (mangifera indica), cocoanut 

 (Cocos nucifera), Papaya (Carica papaya), Cashew nuts 

 (Anacardium occidentale), etc. ; 



(12) Fodder crops : (F), e.g. Guinea-grass, sugar-sorghum, 

 Sorghum halipensi, lata* grass, Reana luxurians, Bhringi, &c. 



(13) Yams, potatoes, turnips, arrowroot, cassava, cauli- 

 flowers, cabbages, beet, carrots, &c., are sometimes called 

 root-crops (R). Cucumbers, melons, and water-nuts may be

 tural crops, but the Bbul timber being largely used for 

 making agricultural appliances and the fruits and leaves .of 

 this tree being in common use for feeding cattle, are largely 

 grown by cultivators. 



CHAPTER XX. 



CHEMICAI, COMPOSITION OF THE PRINCIPAL CROPS. 



Chemical composition of crops is usually considered 

 under six heads, viz., (i) Water, (2) Albuminoid or . 

 flesh-forming matter, (3) Carbohydrates or heat-forming 

 matter, (4) Fibre, (5) Fat and (6) Ash. Of these Albuminoids.
