Fpuit-gTOwing" Industry in Cape Colony, A Review of. By C. 



Mayer {Ayr. Jour. Cape of G. H., vol. xix. No. 5, pp. 317-325).— The 

 author compares the present position of fruit-culture in the Cape Colony 

 with its position and economic importance of about fifteen years ago, 

 showing that within the last decade considerable progress has been made, 

 that in fact the foundation has been laid of an industry which, if properly 

 and carefully handled, may in time have a great and beneficial influence 

 on the agricultural development of the Colony, particularly the w^estern 

 portion, which climatically and in all other respects is pre-eminently 

 suited to it. Annexure tables accompany the paper. — B. N.
