Seite 82 - The bark abounds with strong, white fibres, which make a very good substitute for hemp, and as the plant grows so quickly, as to yield two, three, or even four crops of cuttings annually fit for peeling...
Seite 20 - Now a mixture of sulphate of lime and indigo, very finely pulverized and sifted through fine muslin, in the proportion of three of the former to one of the latter, is added ; to a pan of Tea containing about seven pounds about half a tea-spoonful of this mixture is put and rubbed and rolled along with the Tea in the pan for about one hour, as before described.
Seite 4 - When labour falls so very heavy, and on so very few, it cannot be expected that it can be equally well executed, as if more had been employed. The leaves last gathered are also much larger than they ought to be, for want of being collected and manufactured earlier ; consequently the tea is inferior in quality. I mention this to shew the inconvenience and expense of having so few tea-makers.
Seite 65 - The seeds, like those of other cucurbitaceous fruits, contain much farinaceous matter blended with a large portion of mild oil. The natives dry and grind them into a meal, which they employ as an article of diet ; they also express a mild oil from them, which they use in food and to burn in their lamps. Experience as well as analogy proves these seeds to be highly nourishing, and well deserving of a more extensive culture than is bestowed on them at present.
Seite 34 - ... results attendant on the habitual use of opium ? We should in the end be richly rewarded, by having a fine, healthy race of men growing up for our plantations, to fell our forests, to clear the land from jungle and wild beasts, and to plant and cultivate the luxury of the world. This can never be effected by the enfeebled opium-eaters of Assam, who are more effeminate than women.
Seite 14 - Tipum, in my tea-garden, and some in the nursery-ground at Jaipore, above three thousand of which have come up, are looking beautiful, and doing very well. I have since found out that all the China seedlings on Tipum hill have been destroyed by some insect. The Assam and China seedlings are near each other ; the latter have a much darker appearance. I have made but few nurseries, or raised plants from seed, as abundance of young plants can be procured, of any age or size, from our tea-tracts.
Seite 38 - I should have to take a prominent part in bringing it to so successful an issue. Should what I have written on this new and interesting subject be of any benefit to the country, and the community at large, and help a little to impel the Tea forward to enrich our own dominions, and pull down the haughty pride of China...
Seite 34 - If something of this kind is not done, and done quickly too, the thousands that are about to emigrate from the plains into Assam, will soon be infected with the Opium mania, — that dreadful plague, which has depopulated this beautiful country, turned it into a land of wild beasts, with...
Seite 14 - Patar, amongst the thick tree jungles of Sadiya. In March of the same year, six or eight thousand were brought from Muttack, and planted in different thick jungles at Sadiya ; many of these died in consequence of the buffaloes constantly breaking in amongst them ; the rest are doing well, but I am afraid will be killed from the above cause ; and, now that I have removed to Jaipore, they -are too far off for my personal superintendence. In 1838, 52,000 young tea-plants were brought from the Nemsong...
Seite 9 - ... Chinese declared to me, that the China plants now at Deenjoy, would never have attained to half the perfection they now have, under ten years in their own country. I may here observe, that the sun has a material effect on the leaves ; for as soon as the trees that shade the plants are removed, the leaf, from a fine deep green, begins to turn into a yellowish colour, which it retains for some months, and then again gradually changes to a healthy green, but now becomes thicker, and the plant throws...
