Abstract

Under this title Sir F. A. Nicholson, K. C. I. E., I, C. s. has issued a leaflet, urging the more extensive cultivation of fruit trees in the future. The leaflet shows an intimate knowledge of men and country and is full of facts based on personal knowledge. He regrets the lack of good fruits in our presidency and says, that the fruits ordivarily consumed, are poor in quality and inadequate in amount. The prices of good fruits are high and are often beyond the means of the man in the street. He makes mention of their high dietetic value, their cooling and refreshing qualities and the physical enjoyment afforded by tasty and well-grown fruits.
