Mlsum tells me that the correct name of the plant at 
Serdang is Citrus Swinglei. Burkill. I am afraid I 
have no young plants but 1 will send 12 fruits instead 
from which you can get the seed and raise the seedlings. 
Bough. Lemon . ; Plants of these, are also not available and here 
Seville Urange .; too I am sending fruits instead. 
1 Lemon - Villa Franca; 
'* tiranda; 
Cenoa ; 
Vegetative material of these is obviously 
necessary, and since mareots are not available 
at present they will be prepared and sent to 
you early in 1 
Cover Crops - Stocks of seed of Centrosema, Calapogonium, Dolichos 
and Pueraria are not kept at Serdang. Planters Stores 
or whitalls would probably be glad to give you a 
small packet of seed of each. Mikania scandens is 
usually established from cuttings and if you cannot 
get these in Singapore, we can arrange to send you 
some down.
