Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Bananas in the West Indies
The humus, while it is desirable, is not absolutely essential, because most of the soil-producing bananas in Jamaica contains but very little humus. The typical soil in the Annatto Bay and Port Antonio districts, on the north coast, is a rather heavy clay, but the most profitable plantations are on soils of a loamy consistency.
