/ Two large heaps of comp vis t were manufactured in order to 
** maintain the vegetable plots’ stock of organic matter. 
Six gallons of Tobacco infusion (stock solution) were 
prepared to combat plant pests in the Gardens. 
Manuring of the Citrus plants once a fortnight has been 
proved to be beneficial. The Ground-nuts, previously reported 
to have been planted as a catch crop as well as leguminous 
cover crop to new Papaya plants in lawn P, have been lifted with 
good yield - the green matter was dug in as manure. 
In lawn R the following interesting plants were planted in 
vacant vegetable beds:- 
8 plants Pac ry dium e la turn 
II 11 Gratoxylon formosum (small leaves) 
1 plant Citrus from Belawan-Lell. 
Manuring, pruning and staking of other young trees in this 
area was carried, out. 
Notes on Sweet Potato manurial experiments were compiled, 
A second series of the same manurial experiments was started, 
in order to confinrj the first results. 
Trials of a nitrogenous manure with different application 
d^tes from planting have been started on a number of beds. This 
experiment is designed to find out the manurial value of nitrogen 
as applied at different stages of the plant’s development so 
that we nay know the best time to start manuring. 
An €>xperinent to compare the manurial value of unrotted 
organic matter as against rotted compost was started, with Maize 
as the experimental crop. 
Additional notes on Yam Beans were recorded. 
The third generation of purple kaize seeds were planted. 
A second generation of Japanese long cucumbers are vigorous and 
producing excellent fruits.

white labels for Mr, Satow. Mr. Lange began to check the plan 
of lawn 2 and will continue, this work in the afternoons, as 
Mr. Livingston has not enough spare time for the purpose.
