> A survey of the genus Solanum revealed 51 existing species 
■^aiid varieties in the Gardens (principally varieties of the 
Brinjel, 3 . melongena ). A few previously collected were unfor- 
tunately lost; 7 new, possibly Garden hybrids, are being raised. 
14 water-colour paintings of new and old varieties have been 
don© by Juraimi (label printer) 
A trial graft of a recently Introduced Japanese Tomato, 
raised by seed, on to a Trong Santok Gajah, an extremely vigorous 
plant of the same family, has proved successful. Trial on other 
Brinjol 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 3antok Ga.iah as a stock 
for Tomatoes , 
It was decided to cross-poll inate by hand the flowers of 
the giant Passiflore In order to obtain fruits. This has proved 
to be entirely successful and all flowers pollinated thus fer- 
tili;?ed into fruits. Hitherto no fruits were seen to foini from 
self-fertilisation. 
Specimens of the genus Oolocassia and other tuberous vege- 
tables were supplied for photographic material to the Municipal 
Agricultural Bepartiaent.
