Download or read book Soft Fruit Growing for the Amateur What written by Raymond Bush and published by Pomona Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Fruit can be grown almost anywhere" says Mr. Bush, "if you are prepared to take the trouble" . However, quite often the most intelligent and ardent gardener can go wrong simply because the trouble he takes is ill-directed. This book, first published in 1942 and since twice reprinted and revised, tries to guide the amateur in the growing of soft fruits. The subject is dealt with methodically and the general questions of aspect, soil, nursery material and planting procedure are reviewed first. There follows a discussion of the specific cultural details associated with the various soft fruits. The range is wide. Besides the better known blackberries, loganberries, currants, gooseberries, raspberries, strawberries, tomatoes and mushrooms, the less familiar figs, outdoor grapes, mulberries, cranberries, barberries, melons and passion fruit are included. Other matters are dealt with as well. The va.garies of temperature and climate, the use of the compost heap, the need for and practice of spraying are all separately and exactly explained. There is also a chapter on the pruning of cobs, a subject of which many horticulturalists fight shy. The perils and pitfalls which complicate the best laid plans of the most well-intentioned gardener are here averted. Contents Include: An Ounce of Practice Coming Down to Earth On Choosing Nursery Stock Planting Fruit Bushes Blackberries, Loganberries and Hybrids The Black Currant Red and White Currants The Fig Gooseberries Grapes out of Doors The Raspberry Strawberries The Tomato Some Oddments Nuts: Cob Nuts, Filberts and Walnuts Is Spraying Necessary?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Amateur Fruit Growing: A Practical Guide to the Growing of Fruit for Home Use and the Market, Written With Special Reference to Colder Climates In my experience as teacher of Horticulture in the School of Agriculture of the University of Minnesota I have not been able to find a book on fruit growing at all adapted to the wants of the students coming under my instruction. In fact, I soon found that the material along this line consisted principally of papers scattered through reports of the various horticultural societies and in the agricultural Dress, and that these were not generally available, nor, indeed, sufficiently condensed for my purpose. The peculiar conditions that obtain in this section of the country, and which render the works of Eastern authorities of little practical value here, made it desirable for me to have some practical book on fruit growing that the students could study and refer to at their convenience. Another reason for presenting this book is that by so doing I might answer the many questions relating to the subject treated, which have been often referred to me, and which have required much time and attention in correspondence. The book is written for the beginner and is not offered as a complete manual of Horticulture, although it is believed to cover all the important points in practical fruit growing. But few varieties are recommended, and only the kinds that have been tried for some considerable period and can be obtained from the general nurserymen. Untried and little known kinds have been purposely avoided, however well they may have appeared. It is my earnest wish that new varieties be let alone by the amateur in horticulture, and that, instead of beginning with novelties in fruits, as is too often the case, he will postpone their trial until he has first tried those kinds that are known to be desirable.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Home Fruit Growing in California This circular is designed for those who wish to grow fruit and nuts on a small scale for their own use and not for those who may grow fruit as a business. Although nearly all the fruits that the amateur can hope to produce are already available in our home markets, many of us desire to raise something of our own. As a matter of economics, home fruit grow ing is a poor investment; but happily, no matter how much we may try to convince ourselves to the contrary, we grow home fruits not for mone tary gain but as a labor of love. There is a pride of possession in produc ing some nice fruit, for it can be done; but the work is primarily a sport or recreation. It is the creative instinct that makes us want to dig in the soil and plant something. The fructifying soil holds great mystery for us all. As most people know, growing things out of the earth is a gamble, where skill and chance combine to make a most fascinating game. If we persist until we acquire skill and wisdom; study our plants, treat them properly, protect them from their enemies, we may be rewarded with all the fruit we can use and (best of all) with some to present to our friends, which is the sweetest of all rewards for the amateur. As already mentioned, this publication is intended to help the begin ner. Whereas practically all of our books and experiment-station publi cations on the subject were written for commercial fruit growers, this circular is frankly for the amateur, and all the discussions will be from his standpoint. The professional orchardist is always cautioned, for ex ample, to select a site having the climate, soil, water, and marketing facilities that will promote his financial success. The homeowner, on the other hand, must use the site he has, whether all conditions are fav crable or not. His back yard may be only a second or a third-rate location for fruit, but he wants to use it. Fortunately, practices unjustifiable on a large scale may be followed in a small way: Poor soil can be greatly modified and ameliorated if one will go to the necessary trouble and ex pense. To provide for a few trees only, a swampy spot may be reclaimed, an unfavorable soil or subsoil completely made over. Individual fruits or even whole clusters may be protected against diseases and insects by enclosing them in bags made of paper, gauze, or cellophane. Even the mean temperature for a few trees may be raised considerably in a cold. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
