The Treatment to which the Para Rubber Trees of the Botanic Gardens, Singapore, have been Subjected [Page 247 - 295]
The Treatment to which the Para Rubber Trees of the Botanic Gardens, Singapore, have been Subjected [Page 247 - 295]
Abstract:
An attempt is being made in the Botanic Gardens, Singapore, to mark down among the old trees the best that they may serve as parents for improved stock. The work of selection will cover many years, and be in some degree tedious; but there is every reason to expect that it will prove worth all the time that may be absorbed. Hevea brasiliensis, the Para-rubber tree, in Malaya, shows much variability, and therefore a promise that the general average of the trees can be raised; and moreover not only do we observe the variability here with our own eyes; but we have the assurance of Monsieur Labroy and others that in Brazil great variability can be seen. The work in hand commences with the comparison of tree with tree as judged by the amount of latex given. Were our trees all virgin, this comparison would be facilitated ; but they have been subjected to treatment in various ways; and though we do not know as yet, what the effect of tapping is on the life and functions of a rubber-tree, it becomes necessary that in the task before us the past of the selected parents should be known. With this object in view the following record has been compiled from all available sources.

The Extreme Hardiness of the Seeds of Caesalpinia digyna [Page 193 - 193]
Abstract:
In 1910, the writer obtained two dozen seeds of Caesalpinia digyna, Rottl., from Burma, inrending if possible to isolate on them the water-resistent layer which hinders the germination of quite a number of the Leguminosae, such as Acacia arabica and various indigos. The intended study was never completed; but observations were made on the resistance of the seeds to germination..

The Eucalyptus [Page 145 - 150]
Abstract:
From time to time a considerable number of leters appear in the local papers commenting on the desirability of planting varieties of the Eucalyptus as suitable roadside trees, and also, on account of their supposed value in purifying localities where severe drought fevers are prevalent. We have received many letters asking for advice on the same subjects, and in order to give a general answer to all such correspondents, I shall endeavour to outline the success which has attended the efforts of this Department, to introduce any of the Eucalyptus family.

A New Coconut Pest [Page 155 - 157]
Abstract:
Yet another pest of the Coconut has been discovered in the Philippines and from all accounts it will prove a serious menace to plantations in the Colony and Federated Malay States unless sufficient precautions are taken immediately. So far, it seems to be restricted to certain areas in the Philippines, and the Department of Agriculture are fully aware of the danger arising from this insect, and we may be sure that they will use every means in their power, to prevent its spreading throughout the Philippines and ultimately to the Straits Settlements. It has been considered advisable to prohibit the importation of palms, etc., from the Philippines. We reprint the description, etc., of this pest as it has appeared in The Philippine Agricultural Review, together with the copy of the ordinance as it appeared in the S. S. Gazette, May 31st, 1912.
