WORKS ON 



TROPICAL AGRICULTURE 



THE COCO-NUT. By EDWIN BINGHAM COPE- 

 LAND, Professor of Plant Physiology and Dean of the 

 College of Agriculture, University of the Philippines. 

 Illustrated. 8vo. [Autumn 1914. 



The aim of this book is to give the knowledge and advice which 

 will qualify. a person for the practice of coco-nut raising. Mr. 

 Copeland's own fund of information has been amplified and 

 substantiated by the work of the students in his classes. Each 

 student has had the care of a small group of trees and has 

 kept full records covering every step in coco- nut culture, 

 from the preparation of the seed bed to the utilization of the 

 product. It will thus be seen that the correctness of the state- 

 ments regarding matters of practice has been very thoroughly 

 proved. 



The book is divided into six chapters, dealing respectively 

 with The Physiology of the Coco-nut, Climate and Soil. Diseases 

 and Pests, Selection and Treatment of Seed, Field Culture, and 

 Coco-Nut Products. 



SPICES. By HENRY N. RIDLEY, C.M.G., F.R.S. 

 Illustrated. 8vo. 8s. 6d. net. 



NATURE. " A book of this kind must appeal mainly to planters 

 in the tropics, and Mr. Ridley's extensive experience of the needs of 

 this class of readers has enabled him to produce a volume which 

 is a valuable addition to the rather scanty literature of tropical 

 agriculture." 



AGRICULTURAL ECONOMIST. "Fascinating reading as 

 well as valuable information for those engaged in the cultivation of 

 spices are furnished by Mr. Ridley's work." 



ECONOMIST. " Mr. Ridley's book, besides giving a great deal 

 of interesting historical information, contains much valuable technical 

 and statistical matter, which render it of great use both to the planter 

 of spices and to the student of commerce."
