Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fruit Growing With a Selected List of Varieties for New Hampshire Soils adapted for growing almost any kind of tillable crops and in good heart will grow fruits. The mistake is often made that the best of our farm fields are too good for fruit and should be retained for agriculture. No land is too good 'for fruit growing, and when one realizes that the profits derived from fruits usually average from two to ten times that of general agricultural crops on the same area, why should they not be given first place? Fruits do and will grow on our rocky hillsides and worthless fields, but this does not prove that for best results they should be planted in such situ ations. When preparing the soil to receive fruits, extra attention should be given it. The deeper the soil is stirred and the better its physical and mechanical condition the better the results to be obtained. When the trees or bushes are set they must have continued care and attention. The appear ance of the trees and bushes themselves usually tells the story. If the plants are given proper nourishment and culture, they will make quick growth and rapid development, but it allowed to shift for themselves, they become stunted and eke out a miserable and usually an unprofitable existence. Many plow up a field and set out a fruit plantation one season the next it is in sod and forgotten. In about eight years, when apple trees, for example, -should be coming into bearing, in stead of picking fruit, it is often a hard matter to find the trees themselves. Fruit trees, like animals, are living things, and unless fed and icared for they are not to blame for not doing their best. Animals can forage for themselves, if neglected.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Promising New Fruits During the past five years this apple, which has long been grown in certain localities in Missouri, has attracted marked attention as a variety well adapted to planting in commercial orchards in that and neighboring States. Combining, as it does, the desirable characteris tics of the old Ralls (variously known in the Middle and Southern States under the synonyms Rawles Genet, Rawles Janet, Geniton, lveverfail, and some twenty-five others), with larger size and brighter color than that well-known sort, it appears to have been first described and illustrated under the name Ingram Seedling in the Journal of Agriculture, published at St. Louis, Mo., and somewhat later, in 1868, in the Horticulturist, Vol. XXIII, p. 201.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the American Horticulture Society Book Award "Phillip’s first-hand knowledge anchors this innovative and highly readable book in practical wisdom that both beginner and long-time fruit growers will find invaluable."—Toby Hemenway, author of Gaia’s Garden Many people want to grow fruit on a small scale but lack the insight to be successful orchardists. As The Holistic Orchard illustrates, growing tree fruits and berries is something virtually anyone can do. A holistic grower knows that producing fruit is not about manipulating nature but more importantly, fostering nature. The Holistic Orchard demystifies the basic skills everybody should know about the orchard ecosystem, focusing on: Orchard design Soil biology Organic health management Grafting Planting Pruning Choosing the right varieties for your climate Includes a step-by-step instructional calendar to guide growers through the entire orchard year! Fruit profiles include: pome fruits (apples, pears, asian pears, quinces) stone fruits (cherries, peaches, nectarines, apricots, plums) berries (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, gooseberries, currants, and elderberries) Phillips completely changed the conversation about healthy orcharding with his first bestselling book, The Apple Grower, and now he takes that dialogue even further by exploring: The connections between home orcharding and permaculture The importance of native pollinators Plantings with shade-tolerant berry bushes and other insectary plants Information on cover crops and biodiversity Safe, homegrown solutions to pest and disease challenges All along the way, Phillips' expertise and enthusiasm for healthy growing shines through, as does his ability to put the usual horticultural facts into an integrated ecology perspective. With The Holistic Orchard in your hand you have every reason in the world to confidently plant that very first—or next—fruit tree!
