PLANTING NOTES. 
The Famous Vine at Hampton foii it Palace 
wliicli Is now 130 ye<ii8 ol.l, is Ueariii-' 1 iOO 
bunches of giape«. The fruit is heKinning' to 
ripen, (August 12tli; and will shortly he sent 
for ii.se on Her Majesty's tal.le, says a home 
contemporary. 
COKFEE AND Cardamom.s. —Writes a Matale 
planter:-" What a grand ootfee y?ar this woiihl 
have been, hH<l we lieen grovln-; it .is in by- 
gone days. These long spell.s of dry weather 
would have ripened the wood for the big blossom 
in September on the Uva side. ShouM this 
weather continue the cardunioni crop will be 
very short this year, and some of us trust to the 
enrdamoms paying for the loss on the tea " 
Dr. Morris, m.a., c.M.G.,-hss been promotetl 
to a very important and responsible post— as 
may be seen from paragraphs on our third and 
seventh pi.ges— and it may be .said that the 
future prosperity of the W'est Indies is intimately 
bound up with the " Agricultural ana Botanical 
Department" which Dr. Morris is to estalili^h 
and direct. There could not possibly bealietter 
ottieer for the post. Tlie planters of Ceylon know 
.something of the eneigj, ability and varied 
knowledge of Dr. Morris ; and since he left us, 
his e.vpeiience has been greatly increased, not 
only through his po.sition at Kew, but also in 
the West Indies itself, to which— apart from his 
Botanical Diiectorsbip in Jamaica -he has had 
inore than one special mission. His compilation 
res|)ecting the products, conditions, resource.*, &c. 
of the different British Dependencies in the We.nerii 
Tropics, as the outcome of his connection with the 
recent Commission, is one of the most practical 
and useful little works we have ever come across 
— a most complete agricultural guide for each of 
the Colonies concerned. SVe wish Dr. Morris 
all succe.ss and prosperity in his new position.— 
The question will be asked who is to succeed 
Dr. Morris at Kew, and it may have some 
interest for Ceylon should Mr. Thistleton Dyer 
recommend Mr. Willis for the post. We hope 
not, for the sake of Ceylon ; but stranger things 
have happened.
