Contained within these pages is a detailed yet concise article on
setting up and maintaining an apple orchard. It contains information on
selection, pruning, planting, soils, equipment and tools, when and how
to harvest, and much more. Complete with detailed illustrations and a
wealth of handy and practical information, this is a guide that will be
of considerable utility to the modern reader, and would make for a
worthy addition to collections of allied literature. The sections of
this text include: 'Pre-Planting Work', 'Tree Planting', 'Early
Management', 'Equipment and Costs', and more. Many vintage books such as
this are becoming increasingly hard-to-come-by and expensive, and it is
with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an
affordable, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially
commissioned new introduction on growing fruit.
