CARDAMOMS  IN  COOKG. 
The  Cardamom  cultivated  in  Coorg  is  the  Elettaria 
Cardamomum,  and  although  the  trade,  so  far  as 
native  cured  fruit  is  concerned,  is  steadily  falling, 
still  the  cardamom  is  an  imjiortant  artie'e  to  the 
people  and  is  certainly  the  cause  of  much  thought 
and  anxiety  to  the  Administrators  of  this  little 
Province. 
I will  not  give  any  botanical  description  of  the 
cardamom  in  this  article  nor  will  I refer  to  the 
other  kinds  which  are  not  utilised,  but  endeavour 
to  give  an  idea  of  the  habitat  of  the  plant  and 
the  methods  of  curing  it  followed  by  the  jjeople, 
with  a few  remarks  on  the  state  of  the  cardamom 
irade. 
ihe  cardamom  grows  best  ou  the  Western  and 
Northern  slopes  of  the  ghats  at  an  elevation  of 
from  3,000  to  5,000  feet  above  the  sea.  Here  the 
full  burst  of  the  monsoon  strikes  the  steep  sides 
of  the  hills  and  the  rainfall  reaches  as  much  as 
300  inches  in  some  parts.  It  grows  spontaneously 
but  is  one  of  those  peculiar  plants,  the  seed  of 
which  lies  durmant  till  induced  to  germinate  by 
the  occurrence  of  certain  conditions.  One  of  these 
is  the  admission  of  light.  Cardamoms  will  only  bo 
found  in  the  deuce  evergreen  forest,  and  the 
ordinary  method  of  inducing  them  to  appear  is  to 
open  a small  space  in  the  forest  by  felling  one 
or  two  very  large  trees.  Not  only  does  this  admit 
the  light  but  the  fall  of  the  trees  shakes  the 
ground  and  breaks  the  surface*.  So  thoroughly  is 
the  necessity  for  the  shaking  of  the  ground 
believed  in,  that  when  a plot  is  selected,  all 
undergrowth,  small  trees,  Ac.  which  might  interfere 
wiih  or  break  tho  fall  of  the  gainl  selected  for 
de.structioii,  are  cleared  away  so  that  the  tree  may 
descend  with  all  its  weight  aud  momentum  : and 
to  intensify  the  effect  the  tree  is  always  felled  so 
as  to  face  down  hill.  .Vs  those  plots  arc  almost
