Excerpt from The Soil: An Introduction to the Scientific Study of the Growth of Crops
I have to thank Professor J. Percival, of the South Eastern Agricultural College, for notes respecting the association of plants with specific soils, and many suggestions on biological questions; Major Hanbury Brown, head of the Egyptian Irrigation Department, for information concerning salted lands in Egypt; Mr F. J. Flymen, who has been associated with me in carrying out a soil survey of the counties of Kent and Surrey, and has executed many of the observations recorded here; Mr W. H. Aston, one of my pupils, to whom I owe the Observations on p. 153; and finally, Dr J. A. Voelcker, to whom I am greatly indebted for reading the proof-sheets, and making many valuable suggestions thereon.
