24th April 1914. 
Sir, 
With reference to previous correspondence on the sukject 
and to the enclosed letter (copy) from the Director of Gardens 
Singapore,to the Director of Agriculture ^ geience,! am direct 
tc state that some confusion appears to hare arisen in the 
matter of the supply of Para pukker seeds to this Government. 
f*he references to a year in the letter from this Department 
No.6167 of the 11th March 1911 meant the local Financial year 
from April l3t tc March 3l3t,and your Government was a3*ed 
during that period to 3 end the seeds in two lots the first,the 
smaller,leaving in the spring and the second in the autumn of 
each year. 
2 . The 111,6CC Hevea seed3,the despatch of which was advi3 
in the Director of Gardena* letter,have been received and are 
keing sown.This Government thus received from Singapore 231,60 
seeds in less than 12 months,and a3 a consequence the followin 
telegram was despatched tc you on the 17th instant 
Me aning

Referring to my letter 28th Fek.cancel order Para ^eeds,letter 
follows. 
This should ke read as suspending the standing order of 1911, 
as amended ky my letter No.l231of 2Cth Fek. last,until this 
Govt.requests the supply to ke resumed. 
3. I am to add that Prof.Harrison reports this i3 the only 
year in which the Singapore Gardens have supplied this Govt, 
with para seeds in any quantity in April,May or June.He fears 
from past experience that the germination of these seeds will 
not ke satisfactory.
