Men and women all carry cutlasses, the one instrument needful for all work on the estate, serving not only for reaping the lower pods, but for pruning and weeding, or "cutlassing," as the process of clearing away the weed and brush is called. Gathering the pods is heavy work, always undertaken by men.
Two or three days will suffice to dry them, after which they are put in bags for the markets of the world, and will keep with but very slight loss of weight or aroma for a year or more. Between crops the labourers are employed in "cutlassing," pruning, and cleaning the land and trees.
