in the United States a National Association for the purpose of promoting the consump- tion of tea and of safeguarding its interests, especially by the maintenance of the law against adulterated, impura and trashy tea.
The Association will also address itself to the dissemination of information in regard to the quality of tea and to the proper methods of its preparation. America must be regarded as a promising field for such CELEBRATED work, as the consumption of tea in the United States does not exceed one pound per head of the population per aunum,' while in Canada it is over four pounds, in England over six pounds end in Australia over soven pounds. If somo of the methods of the Indian and Ceylon growers were copied in China we could look forward with confidence to returning prosperity."
