Sinopsis
Excerpt from Rubber and Rubber Planting
The chapters on the physiology of latex are largely the outcome of original observations by the writer, whilst those on planting, harvesting and factory work on the estate are based on a close personal acquaintance with the industry in Ceylon. The chapter on disease, on the other hand, so far as it relates to the fungus pests of rubber, is little more than a summary of the work of Mr T. Petch, whose book is indispensable to anyone specially interested in this branch of the subject. I am also indebted to Mr Petch for the loan of the illustration of canker on Hevea. Free use has also been made of Mr Herbert Wright's well-known book on Para Rubber, and the student who wishes to enter further into the statistics of rubber cultivation will find therein a large mass of useful information.
Sir Daniel Morris's Cantor Lectures, delivered in 1898, still contain the best and fullest account of the wild sources of rubber, and I have drawn freely upon them for the information given in Chapter II.

Excerpt from Rubber and Rubber Planting
During recent years interest in the Rubber-planting industry has extended far beyond that comparatively large section of the community, which is engaged in trades more or less directly connected with rubber. In fact nowadays this material enters so intimately into the daily life of almost everyone, that there will probably be few to whom the romance of rubber entirely fails to make an appeal. In endeavouring to make this book suitable for the needs of as wide a circle of readers as possible, it has been the aim of the author to combine an accurate account of the scientific side of rubber planting with a certain amount of practical information which may be of use to the prospective planter. The space available in a book of this kind only admits of treating the subject in the form of an introductory outline, but it is hoped that the information given will be found reliable as far as it goes.
