RUBBER SEED. 
As we are constantly receiving requests for supply of rubber 
seed for planting in various parts of the world, notably Ce\don, 
India and the Archipelago, and as the Gardens seed crop is 
lully booked a long way ahead this year, planters who would like 
to dispose of their overplus of seed this year could inform the 
Director of Gardens. Singapore, who would put them in com- 
munication with others desiring the seed. Price of seed and 
details necessary should be given. — Ed. A 
RUBBER FROM THE MICHIE MACHINE. 
Since the remarks on the Ceylon Rubber Machine in this 
number of the “Bulletin ” were printed, we have received in the 
Ceylon Weekly limes' a report of the sale of some of the 
prepared product, which we extract : — 
The Rubber market is firm. The price of Para is 5s. gd. 
Straits sheet rubber sold on the 18th instant fetched 65. gd. A 
small lot of last week’s crepe rubber has been resold at 6s. lo^d. 
Samples of the new strip or “ Worm ” rubber believed to have 
been prepared by the Michie process are well thought of. A 
hundredweight was sold at Liverpool recently at 6s. 6 d. It is 
now worth more.” ( London , May 19 th).
