Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Growing Tree and Small Fruits It has not seemed worth while to include a detailed treatment Of the life histories Of the Various insects and diseases Of fruit. Such a treatment would require a book in itself. The student has been re ferred to his local experimental station and college of agriculture for information concerning the Insects and diseases Of importance in his community. Emphasis in this book has been placed rather on the mechanics Of the use and application Of materials for control, including a full discussion Of machinery. Likewise, information concerning varieties and variety descriptions is available from so many authoritative sources that it has not been included here, other than to enumerate the varieties Of commercial importance in the various fruit-growing sections.

This book was released on 2017-05-21 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Trees That Grow the Fruit That Sells Some propagators use the wood pruned from nursery stock to get their supply of buds. Others cut buds from bearing orchards, but make no selection of the trees which bear the most fruit. It has been pretty thor oughly demonstrated that when young trees are propagated by buds or grafts, they have the same bearing characteristics as the tree from which the budding or grafting wood was cut. If this tree is a regular bearer of heavy cr0ps. Of fine fruit, the young trees in all probability will be the same. If this tree is a shy bearer, or produces inferior fruit, the young trees have very little chance of ever becoming profitable orchard units. You can notice it in your own orchard and neighborhood - one Baldwin or York Imperial tree will bear twice as many apples as another standing alongside it, and better Apples, too. This condition applies as well to Peaches and' Pears and other fruits. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Grow Fruit Take the fruit trees away from the home place, town or country, and a great part of its attractiveness leaves it. This applies both to the points of beauty and usefulness - but the trees must be properly selected, planted right and well cared for. These - matters have not had enough attention in the past. Nowadays, however, people are coming to understand that orchards will not take care of themselves any more than will vegetable gardens. Varieties, and methods of culture as well, have been steadily improved. Then, too, people are using fruit in greater quantity, year by year, and are naturally led to ask themselves why should we buy what can just as well be raised at home?

Kellogg's Great Crops of Small Fruits, 1900: How to Grow Them Why is this - Because through the excessive seminal effort of pollen secretion they become impo tent or in other words their breeding powers being overtaxed are destroyed and then they throw their energies to the growth of wood and runners. Let me repeat. Fruit production is a sexual act. Fruit forms as a substance for the seeds to grow in and the development of fruit depends entirely on the seminal vigor of the plant and large crops of fine. Fruit cannot be grown on trees, bushes or plants which are weak ened in fruit production. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Success With Small Fruits Of all small fruits the Strawberry is probably of the greatest commercial importance in this country, and on the maryland-delaware peninsula the culture has attained an importance second to no other part of the country, since soil and climate favor the production of the finest plants and the most plentiful fruiting. In no section do the plants make better root-systems, and wherever the plants grown here have gone they have made a reputation. There is no plant that so adapts itself to soils of all descriptions as the Straw berry. It is a fruit that can be grown anywhere, in sandy or clayey soils. But certain soils seem to be better adapted to certain varieties than others. While good drainage is essential, there is nothing that the Strawberry delights in more than a moist soil. Of course, it does not want standing water in the soil, but a soil that, while well-drained, has the water table only a few feet down, and in which there is a constant rise of capillary moisture, will always produce the heaviest crop. Late berries, like the Gandy, always do better on soils of this character than on high and dry soils. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Fruit Trees Roses Shrubs Etc and How to Grow Them Classic Reprint written by Westminster Nursery and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fruit Trees, Roses, Shrubs, Etc. And How to Grow Them For fruit trees the soil should be dry, either natural or made so by thorough drainage, as they will not live or thrive on a soil constantly saturated with stagnant moisture. It should also be well prepared by twiceplowing, at least, beforehand, using the subsoil plow after the common one at the second plowing. On new fresh lands manuring will be unnecessary, but on lands exhausted by cropping, fertilizers must be applied, either by turning in heavy crops of clover or well decomposed manure or compost. To insure a good growth of fruit trees, land should be in as good condition as for a crop of wheat, corn, or potatoes. If you want trees to grow well, be vigorous and strong, you must give them plenty of food and good cultiva tion until August lst, when all cultivation should cease, to allow new wood to thoroughly ripen up before cold weather, which it will not do if kept growing by cultivation after that date. In regard to this important operation, there are more fatal errors committed than in any other. As a general thing, trees are planted in the ground precisely as they are sent from the nursery. In removing a tree, Figs. 1 and 3 show trees as they come from the nursery. Figs. 2 and 4 show the same trees propno matter how carefully it may be done, a portion of the roots are broken and destroyed, and consequently the bal ance that existed in the structure of the tree is deranged. This must be restored by a proper pruning, adapted to the size, form, and condition of the tree, as follows: Standard Orchard Trees. - These, as sent from the nursery, vary from five to seven feet in height, with naked stems or trunks, and a number of branches at the top forming a head. These branches should all be cut back to within three or four buds of their base. This lessens the demand upon the roots, and enables the remaining buds to push with vigor. Cut Off smoothly all bruised or broken roots up to the sound wood. In case of older trees, of extra size, the pruning must be in proportion; as a general thing it will be safe to shorten all the previous year's shoots to three or four buds at their base, and where the branches are very numerous some may be cut out entirely.
