Synopsis
May, 1882, the writers attention was specially attracted to the subject of the cultivation of Cacao, by being called upon while in the Jamaica Service, by Mr. Morris (now Dr. Morris, C.M.G., c., c.), then Director of Public Gardens Plantations, Jamaica, later, Assistant Director of Royal Gardens, Kew, and now, Imperial Commissioner of Agriculture for the West I ndies, to assist him by the preparation of drawings and diagrams and models of his Lecture on the cultivation and curing of Cacao, delivered under the auspices of the Jamaica I nstitute. Dr. Morris previous to his lecture had paid an official visit to Trinidad for the purpose of obtaining information relative to the production of Cacao. The lecture was published in pamphlet form and obtained a wide circulation, and has since been republished. The majority of facts, gathered in Trinidad by Dr. Morris, were collated with his usual ability, and most of them have stood the test of publicity, without encountering serious contradiction. Being frequently applied to for information on the same subject, I was induced to undertake the first edition of this work for the purpose of satisfying such enquiries, and that being exhausted, I have now the honour of presenting to the Public a second issue. Over eleven years service under the Jamaica Government, during the latter part of which I administered the Botanical Department of that I sland, and over thirteen years in my present office, a total of over twenty-five years West Indian service, all spent in Botanical work, will I hope fairly entitle me to be heard on the subject. It is one to which I have devoted close attention, and I am confident that full credit will be given for the endeavonr to put into suitable and handy form, information suitable to the beginner, suggestions acceptable to the experienced, and matter of some interest to the general reader.
