CARTHAMUS TINCTORIUS. 



Statistics of the area under safflower are only possessed for the 30 temporarily set- 

 tled N.-W. Provinces Districts, and these too of a very imperfect character, since they 

 are only for a single year and merely relate to that portion of the area on which safflower 

 was grown which was not included under any of the major heads of the annual crop 

 returns. The figures therefore only serve to indicate the area under {a), safflower alone ; 

 {b), safflower and carrots ; and (c), safflower and cotton, and do not include the extensive 

 area on which it accompanies gram or barley.
