Notes on Estimate No. 1.
This estimate is based on the supposition that the nurseries
will be commenced in January, when it is dry. The seasons
are,—January, February, dry ; March, April, May, wet
June, July, August and September, dry ;
October, November,
and part December, wet.
The nurseries should be felled and burned off by middle
of February, and all seedlings should be put out in nursery
from the germinating beds before the 1st April. Felling
jungle should commence in the middle of May and finished
by beginning of July. Burn off in middle of September, and
from then till beginning of November, lining, holing, and
filling is carried on ready for planting, should all be finished
by the end of December. It is important that the plants
should be put out during wet weather. But still if put out
with the transplanters and well shaded and weU watered
before
