THE TROPICAL AGRICULTURIST. 
[Junk 
NEW AND OLD TROPICAL PRODUCTS- 
From a recent Price Current of Messrs. Lewis & 
Peat of London, we transcribe a list of products from 
India, Africa and China, with the quality and quota- 
tions specified, in order to indicate the wide field 
offered in the requirements of the home market for 
the operations of the Tropical Planter. A consider- 
able number of the articles named is not the subject 
of proper, systematic cultivation at all, and yet tbeir 
quality and value could not fail to be improved by 
receiving the. attention of the trained Agriculturist. 
The following table may therefore afford useful hints 
to planters on the look-out for new and profitable 
products to cultivate in their forest-land or open fields: —
