Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hand-Book of British Guiana The soil of the coast consists of a mixture of clay and mud of considerable depth and almost unequalled richness. Alterna tion of the crops is unknown, sugar-canes growing year after year in the same soil with hardly any deterioration. To increase the production, however, most of the plantations use chemical ma nures, and especially lime, which latter is almost wanting nat urally. With such a soil and heavy rainfall, it follows that crops are also heavy, while almost every tropical production can be grown to perfection. Nothing can exceed the luxuriance of the vegetation, weeds of course coming to the front and chok ing the cultivated plants if not kept under control. Plantains, Indian corn, yams, sweet potatoes, and a host of fruits ripen all. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
