A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A ti exquisite picture from a photograph is here reproduced, that shows the drying house attached to a large coffee plantation near the village of A djuntas, Porto Rico. Coffee is the largest natural production of the island, exceeding even that of sugar, and the grain is as highly esteemed, especially in England, as the famed product of Mocha. The coffee plant, when first set, requires careful attention, and for the first three years it must be protected from the suns fierce rays, which is accomplished by shading the young growth with banana trees. The plant reaches maturity in six years and attains a height of about eight feet, at which time it throws out new shoots from the ground that thrive in the shade of the parent tree. The stems of the full-grown coffee tree are numerous and of the size of a lead pencil, bearing berries that are dark green until toward ripening time, in September, when they turn a rich red. When the coffee is gathered it is first washed and then spread out on racks to dry in the open air.
