" South Africa."— The great authority on South African affairs of 25th March, 1899. says : 
"An interesting Catalogue reaches us from the East. It is issued by William Brothers, Tropical 
Seea Merchants, of Heiiaratgoda, Ceylon, and schedules all the useful and beautiful plants which will 
thrive in tropical and semi-tropical regions. We fancy Messrs. Williams should do good business, for now 
that the great Powers have arabbed all the waste places of the earth, they must turn to and prove that 
they were worth the grabbling. We recommend the great Powers and Concessionaries under them tdgo 
to William B rothers."
