Description
Excerpt from Vegetable Gardening in the Tropics
During World War II there was a heavy demand for fresh Vegetables by servicemen stationed at tropical bases. Few, if any, of the vegetables they were accustomed to were available from the surrounding areas. Furthermore, shipment Of refrigerated fresh vegetables from the United States was costly and Often prohibitive because of lack Of Shipping space. Several successful gardens were established and maintained on these bases, but the supervisors reported many crop failures caused largely by improper selection of kinds and varieties for the prevailing Soil and climatic conditions.
