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.
