Plants 







Boelimeria nivea. Rheea or Ramie. 



A j^arcel of seed of this phint was received from the Com- 

 missioner of Agriculture wntli the request that we should test it 

 and report on the result ; the seed proved to he perfectly good, 

 and we have a few plants which will be available for distribu- 

 tion in the spring ; the remainder of the seed was returned to 

 Agricultural Department ; I may say that 1 have little hope of 

 this plant being a success commercially in the colony, as in 

 some other countries three or even four crops may be reaped in 

 in the season ; in ISTatal I think that two are as many as we 

 could fairly expect to get, which would place us at a consider- 

 able disadvantage in competing with more favourably situated 

 places, where heavier crops could be got, and where labour is 

 more plentiful and cheaper.
