Download or read book Fig Growing in the South Atlantic and Gulf States written by H. P. Gould and published by . This book was released on 1919 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Fig growing in the South Atlantic and Gulf States is peculiarly a home enterprise, supplying the family with a fruit that is used in many ways though in the Gulf coast region of Texas many orchards of considerable size have been developed within the last 12 or 15 years. Orchards planted wast of the Mississippi River, with few exceptions, have proved disappointing, while trees growing about buildings and in yards in the same localities have been habitually productive and long lived. Fig trees thrive on well-drained, reasonably fertile soil, containing plenty of humus and well supplied with moisture. They also require care in tillage, to avoid injury to the fine fibrous roots which are characteristic of fig trees. East of the Mississippi River these conditions usually are better met about the homes than in orchards. This bulletin describes the varieties of figs most suitable for the South Atlantic and Gulf States tells how to grow them and protect them from diseases and insects and suggests methods of making them into desirable products for the table."--Page [2].
