NOTES AND QUERIES. 



By C. Drieberg, Secretary, C. A. S. 



H. A. B.— The part of the coconut tree 

 you sent was examined by the Govern- 

 ment Mycologist, who| reported that 

 there was no trace of any fungus. The 

 tree appears to be suffering from mal- 

 nutrition, as the description of the soil 

 given by you would indicate, Your 

 decision to plough and aerate the land 

 is a wise one, but the trees will need to 

 be liberally manured. You might sub- 

 mit a soil sample for examination. 



L. M. — Itfis not possible to assign a 

 cause for the failure of the plants with- 

 out studying conditions on the spot, 

 You should make sure that the plants 

 are not pot-bound and water-logged, and 

 if they require manure, Preudenberg's 

 mixture for flower plants may be used, 

 applied at the rate of two or three oz. 

 per tree, after well mixing with twice its 

 volume of soil. 



A. C— Chou mcelliar is a plant closely 

 allied to the Kale. It was originally 

 raised from seed obtained from Australia 

 at the Government Stock Garden, but 

 has not seeded here. It is not likely to 

 thrive without attention. 



A — Kolinji is the Indian Tamil name 

 for Tephrosia purpurea^ the local Tamil 

 name is Kavalai. It is known in Sinha- 

 lese as Pila. There is a leaflet on the 

 subject issued by the Society. 



K. — The Jaffna, Parrot, Dampara and 

 " Rupee " mangoes are the best in Ceylon. 

 The mango is not propagated by slips 

 but from seed and by graft. It will take 

 5 to 6 years to bear. Grafts bear earlier
