This vintage book contains a collection of articles on the subject of
growing apricot trees. Although old, the articles in this compendium are
timeless, and will be of as much utility to modern readers as they were
to those contemporary with their original publication. This book will
appeal to anyone with an interest in growing apricot trees, and would
make for a worthy addition to collections of fruit growing literature.
Some of the topics disused include: 'Soil Preparation', 'Pruning',
'Protecting the Flowers', 'Mulching', 'Fruit Gathering', 'Varieties',
'The Apricot', 'Origin and History', 'Aspect', 'Form of Tree',
'Propagation', 'Planting', 'Preparing the Site', 'Cultivation', 'Fruit
Thinking', 'Gathering', 'Diseases and Pests', etcetera. We are
republishing this antiquarian volume now in an affordable, modern
edition - complete with a new prefatory introduction on fruit growing.
