your letter No. 55^ 1 the 21st inst., and in reply to report 
as follows: 
1. Hibiscus. 
I could only supply abour 1000 cuttings of this 
2 
for & charge of f5/-. You would need 2 cuttings per foot for 
a good hedge. 
% 
2. Roadside trees . I could supply at present the following 
seedlings in pots, ready to plant out, at 40 cents each; 
20 Peltophorum 
50 Poinciana 
v 
40 AdeYanthera. 
More seeds are now being planted; the plants from these should 
be ready to put out in 5 or 4 months. If you would prefer to 
raise your own seeds, these could be supplied at a cost of 25 
cents per 100 for any of the above three species. 
5 , I have no plants of Rambutan at present. You could get 
seedlings from Kuala Lumpur, but if your object is to obtain 
fruit from these trees, it would oe preferable to plant marcots 
which could be obtained (probably after a delay of a few weeks) 
from a local dealer.
