the larger ia autumn.As there are two periods of new leaf i® British 
Guiana,this could only Mean the English spring and English Autumn. 
By the letter 3110/12 dated ICth April 1912,150,000 seeds were ordered 
for autumn with the proviso that if all could not he sent in autumn 1/3 
aight follow in spring.This I read to near that the y were so anxious 
to get the seed to the full amount that they would rather have it late 
i 
than not at all. You will see from my letter dated 3l3t.0ct 1912 (file 
3110/12) that I was puzzled by their letters a new order corning without 
any reference to the old one. 
Then came letter No.2222 (file 3385/13) ordering 120,000 seeds 
without any reference to the 15C,CCC previously ordered,and this tire 
all the seeds were tc he sent in autumn if possible,a balance of left 
over to follow in spring. 
At my request you obtained for me a letter dated 12th August 1913 
front the Govt.Secretary,Georgetown,Denerara confirming the order for 
15C,CCC seeds in 191411915 and 1916. 
It was on this confirmation I sent 120,000 3eed3 for 1914 to 
British Guiana in Feb. Ia3t,in addition to the balance due for 1913 
and I 3 ent them there because I had them,and may not,in autumn 1914 
a 3 in 1913,have them I believed British Guiana anxious tc have them. 
I had reason to believe the instructions in letter 6167 of 11 1888 
1911 regarding the time of year at which they were to be 3ent obsolete 
the Govt.of British Guiana having disregarded them. 
The order wa3 for and not for a financial year. 
I shall not send the balance of 30,000 without hearing further.
