Book excerpt: Excerpt from Home Fruit Grower In writing this book my aim has been to enhance the home production of fine fruit and thereby foster better living. As the text clearly shows, I have herein consistently ruled against commercial standards and practices, whenever these fall below the high order of merit and quality set by the amateur. The commercial grower produces fruit for a livelihood, to supply the demands of people who do not grow it; the amateur grows it for the joy of achievement, for the realization of a high ideal. In the one case the fruit is the means to an end; in the other, it is the end itself. Both men are needed in our national economy, but of the two, as shown in chapter 13, the amateur from the beginning has played, and should continue to play, the title role because he, rather than the commercial grower, sets the standard of excellence. Such being the case, effort has been made to depict the pleasure of growing - and eating - fine fruits and, by means of photo-engravings, to portray the restful and the refining influences of home fruit growing. These pictures which present glimpses of home plantations, such as those in which my boyhood and young manhood were spent, reveal happy blendings of beauty and utility and should, therefore, prove suggestive and helpful to the dweller on the city and suburban lot, the owner of a "country place," and the farmer who aims to give an air of refinement and hominess to his residence, without belittling utility and economy. As beginners are often bewildered by descriptions of varieties in nurserymen's catalogs, as they may know little as to the kind of nursery stock to order, and are frequently at sea as to how to make a selection, especially if they read literature based upon commercial standards, I have rather fully discussed the main points to consider in choosing varieties and buying plants for the home plantation. The primary aim should be for high quality, for as Downing points out, "He who owns a rood of proper land in this country, and, in the face of all the pomonal riches of the day, raises only Crabs and Choke-Pears, deserves to lose the respect of all sensible men."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Practical Fruit Grower In this age of book-making, a new book should not be urged u]hi the public unless to supply a real need. My excuse for presenting at this time this little volume, is the want, on the part of beginners in the business of fruit culture, and of the common farmer who has not the time nor inclination to study extensive works upon the subject, of a hook that shall he sold at a small price yet cover the entire field of fruit cultivation, in all its details, in a plain and practical manner. The limits of the present work, however, will not allow of an extended discussion as to the merits of the many methods of growth and cultivation, and I have aimed to give only such as are largely practiced by the most successful fruit growers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fruit-Growers Guide-Book The foundation upon which this little book is based is the many letters which reach the office of The Fruit Grower, containing inquiries about many phases of fruit growing. These inquiries come from all parts of the United States and from Canada, and cover almost every phase of horticultural work, although in preparing this book only the general problem of growing the ordinary deciduous orchard fruits has been considered. This problem has. Been considered in a very general way without specific dirce tions for any particular fruit. Where details for a given fruit have been needed, the treatment of the subject has been boiled down to as concise a form as possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fruit Grower's Guide, Vol. 1 It may be expected that few thoughtful persons will be inclined to dispute those propositions; especially, perhaps, the last of them. Fruit, in its best condition, is the purest of food, health-giving, life-sustaining and delicious. It was the first food of the human family, and it has been the last food of countless thousands in the decline of life, accepted and enjoyed when coarser was rejected, and so it will be to the end of time. Yet the full value of fruit is by no means generally appreciated. It is regarded by many, if not the majority, as a luxury 2 and a luxury it undoubtedly is to vast numbers of the dwellers in populous cities, while there are several districts in which the inhabitants either do not have nearly so much as they wish, and as would be good for them, or they have to consume what is inferior. A full, good, and cheap supply of the different sorts of fruit that can be produced in this country would be of enormous benefit to the community. How, where, and by whom fruits of various kinds, and of the best quality, can be produced it is the object of this work to point out, and every cultural detail advanced will be founded on experience gained in orchards, gardens, and fruit-growing establishments, with and without the aid of glass structures, in various parts of the kingdom. Until recent years the importance of systematic fruit culture in the gardens and fields of Great Britain had not been adequately recognised. The pursuit is one of the most enjoy able that can be indulged in by all persons who have, or can acquire, land suitable for the purpose. Home-grown fruit is a necessity of life, and the resources of the United Kingdom are equal to the production of the leading kinds in the greatest excellence; indeed it is questionable if so many fruits can be grown equally well in any other part of the globe as in Great Britain and Ireland. Several of the most popular of those fruits, which are being more and more regarded as food products, are indigenous to our land; hence the soil and climate are suitable for their development, or can be made so.

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?

Download or read book Successful Fruit Culture written by Samuel T. Maynard and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Successful Fruit Culture: A Practical Guide to the Cultivation and Propagation of Fruits During the past ten or fifteen years great progress has been made in the cultivation and care of our hardy fruits and especially in the varieties grown, the methods of packing, shipping and marketing, and during this time few books have been written which have kept up with this progress. This progress and the knowledge of insect and fungous pests and their destruction has been largely recorded in scientific books and papers from the numerous experiment stations, with little from the practical and practicing fruit growers, and there is a growing need of a condensed work giving, in plain language, a summary of the scientific progress made, together with the practice of the most successful fruit growers in various sections of the country. Especially is this information needed that those just starting out in the business of fruit growing, or the village home owner who wishes to grow a small quantity of fruit for family consumption, may find in a condensed form the information necessary for success. It is, therefore, the aim of the author to make a book that is up to date in every particular and to cover the entire practice of fruit growing from the starting of the seed or cutting to the marketing of the fruit, though in many cases works devoted to special fruits may be more complete. It is written from the standpoint of the practical fruit grower who is striving to make his business profitable by growing the best fruit possible and at the least cost.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Propagation of Tree Fruits IN preparing this little book three important factors were kept in mind. First, only to include those practices of propagation which are in general use and which are accepted by the orchardist and the commercial nursery man as being the most important. Second, to furnish in a condensed form such information on propagation as will enable the general fruit grower to follow out the practices. It is assumed that the average fruit grower has a general knowledge of the various methods of propagation, hence the many confusing details are here omitted.

Download or read book Small Fruit Culture Classic Reprint written by William Terrill Macoun and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-18 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Small Fruit Culture The average farmer's home in Canada is not supplied with an adequate amount of small fruits, notwithstanding the ease with which they can be grown. It is a common thing to see a farmer on market day buying strawberries and other small fruits in the town to be taken home and treated as a luxury, when he should produce in his own garden all that he and his family could consume if they ate fruit three times a day. This state of affairs seems to be accounted for mainly by the fact that the farmer thinks he is too busy a man to have and care for a garden. If the farmers of this country only knew how much better they and their families would be with a plentiful supply of fruit they might make a greater eflort than they do to raise enough for home consumption. There are some Canadian farmers, we are glad to say, who do have good gardens of both fruit and vegetables. The garden, which is usually on a well drained piece of land near the home, dries earlier than the fields, and can, therefore, be attended to before work begins in the field. A few hours' labour puts it in such shape that it can be cared for with comparatively little work during the summer. With the following information to guide him, there is no good reason why every farmer should not have a fruit garden.

Download or read book The Apple Grower written by Michael Phillips and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades fruit growers have sprayed their trees with toxic chemicals in an attempt to control a range of insect and fungal pests. Yet it is possible to grow apples responsibly, by applying the intuitive knowledge of our great-grandparents with the fruits of modern scientific research and innovation. Since The Apple Grower first appeared in 1998, orchardist Michael Phillips has continued his research with apples, which have been called "organic's final frontier." In this new edition of his widely acclaimed work, Phillips delves even deeper into the mysteries of growing good fruit with minimal inputs. Some of the cuttingedge topics he explores include: The use of kaolin clay as an effective strategy against curculio and borers, as well as its limitations Creating a diverse, healthy orchard ecosystem through understory management of plants, nutrients, and beneficial microorganisms How to make a small apple business viable by focusing on heritage and regional varieties, value-added products, and the "community orchard" model The author's personal voice and clear-eyed advice have already made The Apple Grower a classic among small-scale growers and home orchardists. In fact, anyone serious about succeeding with apples needs to have this updated edition on their bookshelf.
