Publisher's Synopsis
""Cacao Planting in Ceylon"" is a comprehensive guidebook written by James H. Barber in 1888. The book is focused on the cultivation of cacao plants in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and provides detailed information on the best varieties of cacao plants to be cultivated in the region. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a specific aspect of cacao planting, such as soil preparation, planting techniques, and pest management. The author also provides practical advice on how to select the best seeds, how to care for the plants, and how to harvest and process the cacao beans. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in cacao cultivation, and it provides a fascinating insight into the history of the industry in Ceylon during the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
