Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Economic Plants of Porto Rico This paper includes miscellaneous information on the principal cultivated plants of Porto Rico, brief notes on many of the minor economic plants, and a list of all the native names of plants which have thus far been recorded from the island, with references to the scientific names of the species to which t-hev are applied as far as these have been determined. As there are no botanical publications in either English or Spanish which give an even approximately complete treatment of the flora, it is believed that the present list of names and the brief notes accompanying will be found of use both to visitors and to residents of the island.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Yautias, or Taniers, of Porto Rico In View of the fact that no publication on this subject is thus far available, and in consideration of the growing interest in this, perhaps the oldest cultivated crop in the world, it is deemed expedient to offer the following notes. Moreover, until recently a deplorable confusion has existed between the taro, so common throughout the warmer regions of the Old World, and the tanier, which is distinctively a tropical American species. This remarkable, if not unique, case of confounding two of the most important food plants in the Tropics demands attention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cover Crops for Porto Rico Any quick-growing crop which will make a thrifty top and root growth and will not, if it escapes cultivation, become a weed, may be used as a cover crop. In most localities of Porto Rico any such crop is preferable to clean cultivation. The selection of the plant will depend upon its resistance to disease and insect enemies, its vigor in seasons when desired, its habits of growth, and what it returns to the soil. Since nitrogen is an expensive fertilizer element and one which is present in comparatively small quantities in most Porto Rican soils, the choice will be from the number of leguminous plants which, in addition to the good qualities of other plants used for cover crops, have the power of storing in the soil nitrogen which they take from the atmosphere. The selection of legumes suited to the peculiar needs of the fields in which they are to be grown is of great importance in Porto Rico, as there is a great variety of soil types, a wide range of rainfall for different sections, and a great difference in the length of the growing season and habits of growth of the different plants, [which suit them to a peculiar condition. Soils devoted to horticulture here are of two general classes - the light, sandy types, and the heavy, clay loams. The surface of both is subject to drying out quickly when rainfall ceases, and should be protected from the intense sun heat throughout the long summer. Vegetable matter is needed for bind ing the sandy types, for loosening the heavy ones, and for enriching both, and. A Vigorous grower should be planted to supply it. The heavy soils are, as a rule, poorly drained and require a crop that will thrive under such conditions, while those for sandy areas must resist the short, intermittent droughts and be capable of sending out a large root system which will enable them to thrive where the fertility is low. An extensive root system is needed also to prevent surface wash ing which in every locality results from the heavy rains.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vegetable Growing in Porto Rico Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith a manuscript by H. C. Henricksen on the subject of Vegetable Growing in Porto Rico. The idea prevails in some sections that vegetables of good quality can not be produced in Porto Rico. The results attained at the Porto Rico Experiment Station, and the experience of practical growers in different parts of the island, happily show that this is a mistake. In nearly all portions of the island the climatic conditions are very favor able, while the potentiality of Porto Rican soils has hardly 'been touched. Not only may the condition of the inhabitants of the island be greatly improved by growing more and better vegetables, but the exportation to the States should yield a very handsome return. The results obtained by planters in various parts of the island show that successful vegetable growing is not confined to any one section.

Download or read book Experiments on the Supposed Deterioration of Varieties of Vegetables in Porto Rico with Suggestions for Seed Preservation Classic Reprint written by C. F. Kinman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Experiments on the Supposed Deterioration of Varieties of Vegetables in Porto Rico With Suggestions for Seed Preservation Vegetable gardening in Porto Rico is a small industry and one in which there has been little progress for many years. Aside from the culture Of tomatoes, Okra, beans, pigeon peas, and starchy root crops, which are grown as horticultural crops, the farm garden is seldom seen. The commercial gardens are few and small and devoted to the culture Of few vegetables, these Often Of inferior type. The poor development Of the vegetable industry results from the unfavorable soil andclimatic conditions, a lack Of knowledge regarding the value of the best varieties and concerning good seed and its storage, and the production of seed at home. There is a belief that northern-grown vegetables degenerate quickly in Porto Rico and that the seed from even the first generation produces plants which are inferior to their parents. This belief results partly from the common practices in vegetable growing. On account of the heavy summer rains, the crops which are grown from seed are for the most part planted in the fall or winter. If seed harvested from these plantings is immediately sown, the plants as a rule give poor results, as they must contend with heavy rains, intense heat, and other unfavorable conditions. The unsatisfactory development and yield Of the plants are naturally but unfairly attributed to the rapid degeneration of the seed resulting from the effect of the tropical climate. Because of the high humidity, seed deteriorates rapidly in the Tropics if exposed to the open air, and, therefore, much of the seed Offered for sale by local dealers is almost valueless. Imported seed is Often several months Old when it arrives here, and it soon loses its viability, leaving the home product to supply the demand. The defective methods employed in collecting, curing, and storing seed render much of the seed harvested in winter useless for planting the following winter, and seed produced during the rainy season, when seed production is very low, Often must supply the demand.
