As regards the best mode of packing, it is desirable that the tobacco should be put up in "heads" of not 

 lees than 80 lbs. weight, a mode which is well known to tobacco growers. 



If what is sent is at all similar to specimens already received iu this market, competitors may be certain, 

 ef commanding a good price for their exhibits, after the competition is over. 



Yours faithfully,

VANILLA. 



As many persons in Jamaica are now taking up the cultivation of Vanilla, it is with great pleasure 

 that we are enabled through the kindness of the authorities at Kew to reproduce a plate, explaining, 

 the method of fertilization, which was published in the March number of the Kew Bulletin. The 

 Tery important article, published at the same time, dealing with the cultivation and curing of Vanilla, 

 is also herewith reprinted.
