Abstract
THIS is one of the “New Series of Plant Science Books” edited by Dr. Frans Verdorn and printed and published in Holland. It is a comprehensive treatise and contains everything worth knowing on the subject of wood pulp. The multitude of uses to which this material is now put makes it at the present day one of the most valuable natural products that exist. Although the supply is enormous, especially in our jungles and forests, the cost of collection must be almost prohibitive except in places that are supplied with water-transport or other such facilities. Those who have been so fortunate as to visit Shawinigan will realize the speed with which forests in favourable positions are disappearing. The work of afforestation lingers, alas ! far behind.
