The Planting Enterprise Of Ceylon And India

Excerpt from Coffee Planting in Southern India and Ceylon: Being a Second Edition, Revised and Enlarged, of "Coffee, Its Physiology, History, and Cultivation" For the benefit of those who may ask, how one not now engaged in coffee planting can claim to be heard on the subject, I may explain, that I have never ceased to follow with interest the movements of an enterprise to which ten of the most impression able years of my life were exclusively devoted, and with which I was directly connected for a much longer period; and there is perhaps no harm in adding, that for some years it was a necessity with me, as a regular contributor on this and kindred subjects to the Indian' press, to keep myself cm comment of all that occurred in'connexion with them, as time went on.
