Abstract
IN Ceylon, cultivation, whether for profit or pleasure, is conducted under very varied conditions due to the great range of both altitude and rainfall. A comprehensive account of what is possible there is thus of great utility to residents in many parts of the tropics and sub-tropics. This work, now in its fourth edition, thoroughly revised and enlarged is, even more than its predecessors, an indispensable book of reference for all planters and gardeners in tropical countries, its value being enhanced by its wealth of illustrations and very full index.
