Excerpt from The Date Palm and Its Cultivation in the Punjab
IN continuation of the object aimed at in the previous editions, the present note is intended to provide readily available information on date culture to those who have so kindly helped the Agricultural Department in the improvement of date culture since I began this work in 1909.
It also aims at interesting farmers in date cultivation in suitable localities in the Punjab and, what seems equally necessary since people have seen the comparatively fine date fruits grown in the Punjab on imported trees, warning intending planters against laying out large date plantations in unsuitable situations. The questions dealt with in the note are those which have been put to me by, or are likely to arise in the minds of, date - growers. They have been dealt with brie¿y, and of necessity in language as non-technical as possible.
