Abstract
THIS work first appeared in 1898 as a report of particular investigations on tours, but is now a large volume of more than 400 pages, with numerous illustrations. The amount of information collected is enormous, and one may understand that no tea-planter can dispense with the work, the more so since such subjects as hybridisation and the different races of tea seed, weeding, tilling and cultural operations generally, drainage and manuring of tea, pruning and plucking, &c., are fully dealt with, in addition to the enumeration and description of the multitude of insect and fungus enemies which the long suffering shrub harbours.
