I should very much like to have an idea of what the vegetation on the island was like, how it might be improved and what use could be made of it. A most valuable book would be Rhind's Vegetable Kingdom — A History of the Vegetable Kingdom by W. Rhind, Blackie and Son, Glasgow. Revised edition 1855. This book I have at home and find a most useful one to consult. Not only is it full of information but some of the lithoprints are delightful.
