Abstract
THIS is one of the most interesting and useful little books yet published on rubber cultivation, and should be in the hands of every planter. It is a reprint of a lecture delivered before the Society of Arts. The book is not only of great value to those interested in plantation rubber, but also to those interested in the development of wild rubber. Mr. Herbert Wright, who was at one time controller of the Government experimental station in Ceylon, is now the editor of the India Rubber Journal. He is also the author of one of our best standard works on rubber, viz. “Hevea Brasiliensis,” which is a scientific treatise on the botany of rubber. The present publication is more in the form of a useful and practical handbook, and deals with the great potentialities of the rubber industry, and its importance from “the producer's standpoint, especially in British possessions.”
