Description  Was sent to Java to study the indigo industry c.1905. After a short residence there, returned [to Bengal] with the Java process and Java Indigo seed�which, after a trial at an outwork, did not prove a success because the seed proved difficult to germinate.    
Indexer  (1) An outwork was an outlying indigo factory, a subsidiary of a head factory or �concern�. (2) This index entry was extracted from a description of: the depressed market for indigo c.1898; the subsequent agricultural experiments conducted by B. Coventry; Coventry�s appointment to manage the new college at Pusa (for which Lord Curzon laid the first stone, 1905); the employment of Messrs. E.A. Hancock and Bailey; the development of Java indigo seed by the latter; Mr. Leake�s use of scarification to germinate the seed c.1903; and, the development by Mr. Watson and Messrs. Arthur Butler and Company of a machine to perform the scarification process [pg. 21].
