The work surveys the principal cultivated plants of overseas possessions, providing botanical descriptions, cultivation requirements, harvest and processing methods, and data on production, consumption and monetary values. Organized by crop classes—cereals, tuber crops, fruits, spices, oils, fibres, rubber-producers, gums, tanning woods, medicinal plants and timber—it emphasizes economic links between colonial production and the mother country, discusses growth conditions and native participation in cultivation, and includes statistical tables and color plates to illustrate species and practical uses.
