A letter from Dr. Furnell, Officiating Secretary to 

 the Beerbhoom Branch Society, states as follows : 



" The Coffee plants obtained from Dr. Wallich 

 arrived safe, and are thriving well. 



" Guinea grass is growing in Mr. D'Oyly's 

 garden luxuriantly, and he intends increasing the 

 quantity, and distributing it to all applicants. 



The Georgia and Sea Island Cotton seed has 

 vegetated, and appears to be doing extremely well. 

 Some of the plants have large flowers. About a 

 biggah of garden has been sown with the Cotton 

 seed ; and a quantity has been distributed."
