This volume contains a classic article on growing apples, with
information on varieties, pests and diseases, plating, harvesting, and
the cultivation of other orchard fruits. Profusely illustrated and full
of simple instructions and useful information, this volume will appeal
to those occupied in the production of fruit, and would make for a great
addition to horticultural collections. Contents include: "Adaptation of
Varieties to Soil", "Adaptation of Standard Varieties of Apples",
"Choice of Varieties", "Description of Varieties of Apples", "Apricots",
"Cherries", "Peaches", "Pears", etc. Many vintage books such as this are
becoming increasingly rare and expensive. It is with this in mind that
we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality
edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on
growing fruit.
