A trial gi’aft of a recently introduced Japanese Tomato, 
raised by seed, on to a Trong Santok Gfi;)ah, an extremely vigorous 
plant of the same family, has proved successful. Trial on other 
Brin^al stocks failed owing to slime disease at the base of the 
stock or destruction by borers. It is proposed to eliminate 
such pests and disease by using Trong Santok Gajah as a stock 
for Tomatoes. 
It was decided to cross -pollinate by hand the flowers of 
the giant PaBsiflora in oi^der to obtain fruits. This has proved 
to be entirely successful and all flowers pollinated thus fer- 
tilized into fruits. Hitherto no fruits were seen to form from 
sel f-f e r t i 1 i za t i on .

tables were supplied for photographic material to the Municipal
