Abstract
IN 1937, the Maria Moors Cabot Foundation was established in the United States to "promote education in the art of increasing the capacity of the earth to sustain human life" ; the growth and propagation of trees and other plants as a source of fuel and energy was to be a primary study, and its subsidiary purpose was "to disseminate information helpful and stimulating to others who may wish to enter this field of effort". The book under review, which is the first special publication produced by the Foundation, certainly serves this subsidiary purpose for one of the topics of study in wide-ranging investigations the results of which have been mainly reported in ordinary scientific journals.
