Experiments on the Processing of Persimmons to Render Them Nonastringent (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Experiments on the Processing of Persimmons to Render Them Nonastringent

The first description in American literature which the writer has discovered of the method used by the Japanese in the processing of their persimmons is that of Prof. T amari in the Transactions of the Michigan Horticultural Society for 1886. Prof. Tamari was one of the first students of American agriculture sent by the Japanese Government to study our agricultural institutions, and it is a curious fact that this description which he gave affecting a transplanted Japanese plant industry should have been so entirely overlooked by those who were engaged in the attempt to make it a success.
