| Notes: | Label source: From plant in grounds of Government House, Barbados Report by Messrs. Ide & Christie 72, Mark Lane E.6 dated 18.8.93 This fibre leaves nothing to be desired in regard to colour, strength and carefullness of preparation and merchantable quan, tities would sell freely in the London market.
