a ia a veritable roman^A. In 1873, at the suggestion of Sir Joseph Hooker, Director of Kew Garden, Mr. James Collins (afterward Government Botanist in Singapore) want to the Amazons and alluted some hundreds of seeds of
rubber. Most Par

by the Kaw anthori ties, sucorded in bringing home some 70,000 seeds, from which about 2800 plants were raised. A consignment of these medlings was sent out to the Botanical Gardens of Ceylon and to the newly-founded cardens of Singapore, but by an accident the latter batoh wore destroyed. A second lotoftwenty-two despatched the next year were saconsfally planted by the Curator, Mr. Murton. Some of these original trees are still standing, and one of them is believed to be the biggest ribber tres in existenes. It is from these fow specimens sent from Kow to Ceylon and Singapore that has ang the great indus try of elevated rubber at industry greated parts of the world.

All over the Pminants there are now to be seen flour- ishing robber plantations where but a few years ago stood the primeval jungle. Roudsand railways have multiplied, now villages have spring RP labourers bate poured into the country, and Europeans bave hastened out to act as mans gere and assistants. Upwards of 9.000.000 soeds and plants have been distributed from the Singapore Gardens alone, as well large bambors from Ceylon, Nor has the cultivation by any manne as yet reached its limits, and he would be a bold who
would predict the artout to which the industry will ultimately attain. From 1906
