Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Culture of the Central American Rubber Tree
Progress in practical matters as well as in purely scientific subjects depends much upon theories. On the failure of the first experiments, the theory that rubber trees could be profitably cultivated was dis carded by many who came to the conclusion that planted trees will not produce rubber. This view is by no means extinct, especially among those who have abandoned rubber planting in disgust. An adverse Opinion of this kind is popular with some because it serves as a general explanation of failure and spares the annoying suggestion of cultural errors and oversights.
