Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report on the Caoutchouc of Commerce: Being Information on the Plants Yielding It, Their Geographical, Distribution, Climatic Conditions, and the Possibility, of Their Cultivation and Acclimatization in India
The numberless uses to which Caoutchouc is now applied has placed it in the front rank of vegetable products, rendering a large and constant supply imperative, and this necessity early led me to the consideration of the sources of supply, and how such supplies could be increased and insured.
