This vintage book is a comprehensive handbook for the modern fruit
grower, with information on storage, planting, marketing, pruning, pests
and diseases, tools, and many other related aspects. Including all the
information an aspiring or existing fruit grower could possibly need to
know, "Modern Fruit Growing" constitutes a must-have for those with a
practical interest in the subject, and would make for a fantastic
addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Capital
Required and Terms of Tenure", "Selection and Preparation of Land",
"Wiring: Marking Out: Distances Apart: Planting", "Shape and Age of
Tree", "Stocks", "Varieties of Apples", "Varieties of Pears, Plums and
Cherries", "Varieties of Soft Fruits", "Pollination", etc. Many vintage
books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are
republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality
edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on
growing fruit.
