“...report and at the end of the year several kinds of vegetables were under trial. About 100 West Indian Limes were planted and as these grow and fruit well in Hongkong they should prove a success in the New Territories if given sheltered situations. Plants of spineless Cacti were planted in the hope that they Avould become useful as a winter fodder crop for cattle. So far they have made very little progress although a spiny species, Opuntia Dillenii, is naturalized in various places in Hong- kong and Kowloon and grows without any trouble. A part of this garden is in use as a nursery for trees and shrubs and several thousand young plants were accommodated there at the end of the year. In the East Point Nursery Cinnamomum Cassia fruited freely and seeds will be obtained when ripe for increasing the stock of this tree. This is the tree which produces the Cassia Bark and Cassia Buds of commerce. The first rice crop was above the average and the second was even better, but difficulty was...”

“...- M 27 Small, fields of tobacco were seen before reaching Pak Kong Hon the first station on the North River, from which place the rail- way follows the east side of the river northwards. The river runs between high hills on both sides and as it is more or less in view right up to Vingtak some very pretty scenery was passed. The hills are covered with shrubs and small trees but large trees are nowhere in evidence except around the villages. The railway station at Yingtak is on the east side of the river but the town itself is on the west side and as the hills outside of the town looked more promising than those near the railway we crossed over by ferry. Immediately to the west of the town we came across a field of buckwheat (Polygonum Fagopyrum) in full flower, a mass of pink and a very pretty sight. Next to this was a field of bearded wheat in process of being harvested. The hills which are of limestone formation only rise to about 500 or fiOO feet at. this place and there was not...”

“...xtenoptera were seen. Gentiana Loureiri was common on the slopes of the hills and Salvia japoiiica in bamboo groves. The hills around the village of Lien Kong Hon are planted with Que rem fissa and these were in flower at the time and made a very pretty sight. We were informed that they were coppiced every six years for fuel. At Lien Kong Hon we noticed the villagers collecting the unexpanded young fronds of Blechnum orient ale which was very common at this place, and on making enquiries tliey told us that they boiled the fronds and used them as a vegetable. We stayed on the boat for the night and resumed our journey down stream the following morning. We had some little difficulty with our boatman, however, as he refused to go any farther unless he had a military escort, informing us that the river was infested with pirates between Lien Kong Hon and Kou Wang Shek, our next station. We tried to persuade him that it would be all right as we were travelling in daylight but he said he certainly...”
