Variability of the Camphor-Yield in Cinnamomum Camphora

During the last years of the 19th century in consequence of the risihg price of camphor and of the increasing demand for it for the manufacture of cellulose, numerous enquiries were addressed to Kew from the warmer parts of the British Empire as to the feasibility of growing the Camphor Tree there and producing remunerative plantations.To circulate information on this subject a paper was published in the Kew Bulletin (1899, pp.57-68), making suggestions for the guidance of intending planters and summarising what had already been done in the camphor-planting industry.
