An Article on Fertilizers and Shade-Crops in the OrchardPaperback, 1 March 2011

This book is a detailed article on the employment of fertilisers and shade-crops in orchards. Written in clear, plain language and full of useful and interesting information, this volume constitutes an invaluable resource for orchard owners, and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Shade-Crops", "The Leguminous Green-Crops", "How to use Shade-Crops", "Amounts of Plant-Wood Removed from an Acre in Twenty Years' Continuous Cropping to Wheat", "Fertilizers and Shade-Crops", "Amounts of Plant-food Removed from an Acre of Apple Orchard in Twenty Years", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on growing fruit.
