THE CASTOR OIL PLANT. 



By W. Harris, f.l.s., 

 Superintendent of Public Gardens. 



(Prom the Bulletin of the Department of 

 Agriculture, Vol. 2, No. 5, 1912,) 

 A great deal of interest has recently 

 been evinced in the question of culti- 

 vating the castor oil plant as a field crop 

 in Jamaica for the production of its 

 seeds which at present are commanding 

 high prices, owing it is said, to short- 

 ages in supplies from the usual sources. 



Numerous enquiries have been addres- 

 sed to this Department for information 

 as to the cultivation required, yield per 

 acre to be expected, etc. 



In Jamaica the plant grows practically 

 everywhere from sea level to 5,000 feet 

 altitude in a semi-wild state in aban- 

 doned provision fields and in waste 



places generally, but it is not cultivated 

 and no reliable data are available as to 

 the yields obtained locally or other infor- 

 mation that would be useful to intend- 

 ing growers. The following notes have 

 been put together, therefoie, in the hope 

 that they will be helpful to those who 

 are thinking of taking up the cultivation 

 of ohis crop. 



In the collation of these notes I have 

 made free use of information contained 

 in the Yearbook of the United States 

 Department of Agriculture for 1904 ; 

 the Transvaal Agricultural Journal, vol. 

 4-6 ; the annual Report of the Transvaal 

 Department of Agriculture for 1904-05 ; 

 and the Bulletin of the Imperial Insti- 

 tute, vol. IX, No. 1. 



The Plant. 



The Castor seed plant is one of the 

 most interesting in the world's flora,
