The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 6

Jamaica.—

Jamaica.—

Mr. Jenman reported, 22nd February 1879:—" There is a great demand for this coffee, which the garden is quite unable to meet at present. All attempts which have come to my knowledge on the part of private parties to import either plants or seeds have proved failures. Another small parcel of seed received some months ago from Kew Gardens produced between four and five dozen plants, the majority of which I have planted out to increase the number of our stock plants . . . I am glad to be able to report that the first few trees received have this year (1878) borne a small crop of fruit, which has recently been gathered and sown."
