Abstract
MR. WILKINSON'S monograph is a very good example of a type of book which is indigenous to the New World. Writers of such monographs look at their subject keenly and exclusively from its commercial aspect. They collect or recount from their experience every item of information the possession of which by a grower is calculated to make his proposition pay; with equal ruthlessness they exclude everything a knowledge of which does not appear likely to lead to monetary profit.
