A Practical Guide to 

 Coconut Plantingf, 



By R. W. MuNRO and L. C. Brown. 



Price 7s. 6d. Postage 7d. 



A book that should play a great part in the developineni of 

 British Malaya, and also Ceylon and British India. 



The above book, written by the two leading authorities on the subject in 

 Malaya, specialises in the cultivation and production of the palms in that part 

 of the Empire. Whilst "Coconuts — the Consols of the East" deals with their 

 cultivation wherever the palms will flourish and yield freely and whilst it is 

 also the book on calling attention to the value of the by-products on a coconut 

 estate, the above work, by Messrs. Munro and Brown, is unequalled as regards 

 information (illustrated with over a hundred photographs) in connection with the 

 cultivation of the coconut palm within the areas they deal with. 



In a long review of this work. The Malay Mail told its readers that " Very 

 few planters or commeicial men in this country would attempt to dispute the 

 contention that the practical restriction of agriculture (in a producing centre like 

 Malaya) to one form of agriculture — rubber — is a great source of weakness, and 

 that if Malaya is to continue its record of uninterrupted prosperity, other forms 

 of agriculture will have to be introduced and encouraged. When this question 

 is discussed, the industry which usually receives first attention is that of the 

 growing of coconuts. This has always received the support ot the Government 

 of the Federated Malay Slates, and in asking IMessrs. R. W. Munro and L. C. 

 Brown to publish a book on the subject, they are only following their previous 

 policy. . . . The publication of this joint work comes at a peculiarly opportune 

 time, and there is little doubt that it will enjoy a wide sale and prove of very 

 great help in fostering one of those alternative agricultural industries which 

 should play a great part in the economic development of British Malaya."
