Report of the Agri-Horticultural Society of Western India For the Year 1863

1864

To the Honorable the PRESIDENT and the MEMBERS of the AGRI-HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY of WESTERN INDIA. [...] I. ; but the whole of this outstanding sum of Rupees 8 375 will be required for the completion of the works now going on in the garden and as I cannot estimate the normal expenditure of the Society for the future at less than Rupees 12 000 a year the available balance at this date is not more than it is pleasant to have always on hand.( 4 ) In my.own opinion however the real balance of every [...] five reported against the seeds :— The first reported them indifferent." The second " failed with the exception of the best." The third " only a few turned out well." The fourth " bad." The fifth " not good." On these failures I shall remark below under the head of Import and Export of Plants and Seeds. [...] The greatest donation of the year to the Society was the free gift of Vehar water to the Gardens by the Municipal Commisioners. [...] Cursetjee Furdoonjee Paruck has also placed Rupees 30 000 at the Society's disposal for the purpose of erecting a Fountain to be called " the Frere Fountain " in the centre of the octagon in the Garden.
