CEYLON CARDAMOM GROWERS' 

 PAMPHLET. 



We have received from Mr J Westland of 

 Garumaduwa, a copy of tho above. It is at- 

 tractively though plainly got up, interspersed 

 with illustrations, and imparts everything that 

 one should know about cardamoms in a most 

 succinct and interesting fashion — whether in 

 regard to cookery, flavouring curries, cakes and 

 confectionery, or their use medicinally, etc. The 

 cultivation and preparation of cardamoms in 

 Ceylon is also briefly explained. The illustra- 

 tions are seven in number and are entitled : — 

 Gathering Cardamoms, Colombo Harbour, Carda- 

 mom Plantation General View, do. showing 

 Bush, Superir tendent Visiting Workers, another 

 view of Cardamom Field and Bleaching and 

 Drying Cardamoms. We quote the following: — 



A lady has favoured us .with the following 

 recipe for 40 little cakes : — 



"Cream for whole eggs with 8 oz. of sugar, 

 finely ground cardamom and one table-spoon- 

 ful of rum. Little by little 8 oz. of sifted flour 

 are mixed into this. Tho!paste should be stirred 

 for almost an hour. Little heaps are placed on a 

 flour baking sheet, sprinkle over with sugar and 

 bake in a moderately hot oven." 



RUBBER IN B. N. BORNEO. 



The first shipment of Rubber from the Sapong 

 Rubber and Tobacco Estates,' Ltd., realised 5s 

 8d per lb. The highestTprice paid at the same 

 sale for Rubber was 5s lid Mr Lease and Sapong 

 Estate are to be congratulated on the excellent 

 results obtained. 



The ss 'Tringganu' which arrived from Singa- 

 pore on the 6th inst brought a consignment of 

 50,000 Para Rubber seeds for Bukau Estate, 

 where all arrangements for their reception have 

 been made by the energetic Manager Mr J M 

 Craib.— B. N. B. Herald, Nov. 16,
