only one kind on his estate. For instance, if an estate has some trees 

 of the Calabash variety and some Forastero, the beans must be 

 separately cured, or the fermentation will be too long for some and 

 too short for others, resulting in a badly cured sample. 



In planting out an estate for the first time, the choice should be 

 made of one variety and nothing else should be grown. Many estates 

 get a low price for the cocoa, simply because the trees are not even in 

 character. The colour of pod does not matter. 



As regards situation for growing Cocoa, it should not be planted on 

 dry ridges, but in moist sheltered valleys, and this is essential in 

 districts where the rainfall is small and uncertain.
