PLANTING NOTES. 
PlAKTIXG IX DUMIJAKA M VEAI5S AGO. — Mr. 
Eilwanl Mortimer— one of llie olile«t planters 
left nt work in Ceylon writes^: — "I was much 
interested in reading your account of 'oldKnja.' 
I raised the tea in nursery and planted out tlie 
plants you refer to, as .supplies amont^st the coiFee 
about the year 1S64. The tea bushes were about 
IJ foot high fin niy handing over cliart:e to niy 
.«ufeessor. I was sorry he spoilt the leaf and 
did not lurii out a lietier s.'uupie of tea, l.ut I 
sup)>i>KP he was not at fault, (hi Lhtibe days 
we were all j'oung liands av.r! v eiyfi w kii<'W 
in LVylon tiie process of n'.auufacluniif; tec.) Tlie 
tea seed w,".s rioin Assam and it jirew up to l»e 
lovely idants and made a fine show in the 
nursery." 
Coffee in Tean.svaal.— They are goin<; ahead 
with cofl'ee planting in tlie Transvaal. The Cape 
Times says : — Tt ajipe.irs that the entire Eastern 
part of the Ti.ansvaal, from Spelonken in the 
north to Vryheid in the south, contains tracts 
of ground particularly suitable for the cultivation 
of coffee. The coffee plant must be sheltered and 
the chain of mountains from north to .«outh 
through the eastern half of the Transvaal affords 
that shelter. The equatorial current from the 
Indian Ocean and the other ocean currents blow- 
ing in a southerly direction through the Mozam- 
bique Channel have a benelicirl influence upon 
t!ie cultivation. Right up, in the north in Servaa's 
cfiuniry. many farmers grow their own cofl'ee. 
One fiirm ii; the Lydeiibnrg -listrict in Water- 
vallei, on the slopes of Spifzkop and the Seco- 
coenie's Mountaips coflee has been cultivated with 
success. Coffee from the district exhibited in the 
Yryheid Show in 1S96 was judged to be of ex- 
cellent quality. T!ie plant appear.', to gro-v best 
in a loo.se, sHiidy soil of a reddish colour. It must 
be sheltered against wind and frost. Tuttity- 
five years asro a farmer named Gysbert van 
Ivooyen, grew not only his own coffee, but his 
sugar.
