Dried ginger is called by the dealers "races" orlanda." It is in fluttish, jointed, branched or lobed, palate picoos, which rarely exceed four inches in lengt The Barbados, Bangal, and African gingers are covered by a dry, shrivelled opidermis commonly called the cont;"honce these sorts are usually said to bacouted or unwraped" whereas tho Jamaton ginger, and some of the sorte brought from Malabar and Bengal, have been deprived of their epidermis, and we therefore called "hosted" or "scraped." The external colour varies in different sorts from pale or bright yellow to dark or brown; the palost sort' is the fine Jamaica, and this realizes the highest price. Coclin ginger resembles it, but in of a pale brownish tint externally. “Acconling to some anthorities the chalky white appearance of the so-called bleached ginger" is produced by submitting the root to the notion of the fumes of burning sulphur or by washing it in a solu tion of chloride of lime; but it is also likely that this appearanon results sometimes from o simple application of chalk or plaster of Paris.
The interior of the dried root varies, like the exterior, in colour; e bost is that which ente pale. but bright. The consistence of ginger, as ascertained by cutting, varies from soft to bard, or, as it is termed in trade, "finty the soft being preferred;"
The Chinese ginger (above referred to as Alpinia galanga) is cultivated in nearly all parts of the province of Kwangtung. The district of Nauliai, which belongs to the city of Canton, produces greater quantities and a better quality than other neighbouring districts. The inda pendent tribe of the Miso-tsu, in the mountains at the north-western border of the same pro vince, are also said to produce large quantities | of ginger.
