This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Relation of Maturity of California Plums to Shipping and Dessert Quality Since California plums are produced two to three thousand miles from the principal eastern markets, the harvesting and shipping of them is a most important problem. Eight to twelve days. Must usually elapse between the time of loading the fruit into refrigerator cars and its arrival on the market. From one to three days additional maybe necessary before it reaches the retail purchaser. Under these condi tions it is necessary, therefore, that highly perishable fruits, such as plums, be harvested and shipped before becoming tree ripe, if they are to carry satisfactorily. Firmness is not only essential for success ful long-distance shipment but after the necessary rehandling the fruit must be delivered to the retailer in a firm, sound condition. On the other hand, if picked too early, plums will not ripen with good dessert quality. In general, the nearer tree ripe the fruit when picked, the better the dessert quality when fully ripe. The commercial grower and shipper must therefore pick and handle the fruit so it Will arrive in a satisfactory market condition, and at the same time secure the highest possible dessert quality. In View of the insistent demand from dealers that nothing but hard fruit be shipped, there has developed a tendency to harvest a portion of the crop at least, so early as to sacrifice considerable of its eating quality. This investigation accordingly Was undertaken to determine as accurately as possible under existing transportation conditions when the leading plum varieties should be harvested.

This book was released on 2008-11 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE CALIFORNIA FRUITS AND HOW TO GROW THEM A MANUAL OF METHODS WHICH HAVE YIELDED GREATEST SUCCESS, WITH THE LISTS OF VARIETIES BEST ADAPTED TO THE DIFFERENT DISTRICTS OF THE STATES By EDWARD J. WICKSON Professor of Horticulture Emeritus in the College of Agriculture of the University of California Author of California Vegetables in Garden and Field, California Garden Flowers, Shrubs, Trees and Vines, One Thousand Questions in California Agriculture Answered, and Second Thousand Questions in California Agriculture Answered Editor of Pacific Rural Press. - PREFACE The Eighth Edition of this treatise outstripped its immediate predecessors in meeting a public demand which covered the available supply much sooner than anticipated. Because of the desirability of keeping the work abreast of the progress of a constantly changing and developing industry, the publishers have assumed the burden of resetting the type for each edition, resisting the temptation of greater profit which would attend reprinting from plates with minimum revision. Therefore this edition is wholly set anew the ninth opportunity for free revision which the writer has enjoyed during the publication of the work, which has reached a total of twenty-five thousand copies since the appearance of the first edition in 1889. Of the quality of the book, it does notbecome the writer to speak, but he may express his satisfaction at its popularity. Its circulation may be cited as a testimonial of its suitability for service in the building up of the fruit industries, and the demand for it may be regarded as rather unique, when it is remembered that the book deals exclusively with the fruit growing of a single State which is only one, although it be the greatest, of the agricultural interests of that State. The demand for the book is an exponent of the continued activity in California fruit planting, and its sale abroad indicates the fact that the outside world is watching Californias fruit development, and desires to know the methods by which a product which brought to growers a return of 236,955,000 in 1920 a figure, of course, much below its commercial valuation. The writer repeats the request which he has made in earlier editions that all readers whose observation and work teach them any better way than he has described in this book shall share with him the advantages of such greater wisdom.

Book excerpt: Developed especially for use by backyard orchardists, rare fruit growers, and small-scale growers, The Home Orchard offers a comprehensive look at standard growing methods, as well as some innovative practices that enthusiasts have developed in recent years, some of which are uniquely suited to the small-scale grower. You will learn how trees grow, which species grow best in the different regions and soils, varieties from which to select, preparing the soil, planting, watering and fertilizing, pruning and grafting, thinning the fruit, diagnosing problems, controlling pests, and harvesting. You'll also find special attention given to organic and non-toxic pest management and fertilization methods. Key pests and diseases are identified and natural control methods are emphasized. Irrigation methods for the backyard grower are discussed and the difficult task of how often and how much water to apply is simplified.

Photos of several practices, such as key budding and grafting methods, are depicted in step-by-step photos. No other publication provides this breadth and depth of coverage --
