Abstract

importance of agricultural plants and their future possibilities. It will be found a valuable reference book upon many questions pertaining to economic and commercial aspects of tropical plants. Botanically, however, the book is often defective, as for example, in speaking of the growth of Cannabis sativa for its opium-like drug, the author says: "The male flowers are removed in November, for if the female flowers are fertilized there is no formation of the drug."-O.
