[Syrupmakers] Sugarcane books wanted

[Richard Harrison]

   I would like to have a copy of Sugarcane by Ernest Artschwager and E W Brandes (USDA Handbook # 122, 1958) which gives descriptions of many varieties. I read about it being for sale on an internet bookstore website but they no longer have it. Also, I would be interested in Dr. Thomas Tew's more recent and even bigger book on sugarcane varieties. I have looked on Amazon.com and Ebay with no luck. Can anyone help ?

      After eight cookings, our group of volunteers, all over 60 years old, say ENUFF!  Consequently, because of that and the mild winter, we have leftover cane for sale.
   
  You harvest, you haul from 5.2 miles south of I-75 in Gainesville, Florida.  Four stalks per $1.00.
   
  It's an unknown variety of hard green and purple cane which we have used to make an excellent syrup for the past nine years.  With water and fertilizer, each year it has grown tall, thick and straight.  There are 6 1/2 270-foot rows of cane, estimated to be 27 cubic yards or 5000 feet of rows if used as seed.  Each of these rows makes a little over 80 gallons of juice.
   
  Harvest on Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays.  Call Bob Henderson at (352) 284-7342 days or (352) 376-7031 evenings.
