The Compendium of Cranberry Growing - Volumes 1 and 2Paperback, 1 March 2011

This vintage volume contains a comprehensive guide to growing cranberries, with information on natural history, common problems, harvesting, storing, and all other related aspects. Complete and accessible, this handbook constitutes a must-read for those with a practical interest in cranberry production, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: "Natural History of the Cranberry", "First Growers", "Difficulties of Cultivation", "Failures and their Causes", "The Fruits of Experience", "Average Yields of Early Crops", "Proper Locations of Cranberry Patches", "Uplands not Suitable", "Reasons Why", "Stagnant Water", 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.
