Book excerpt: Excerpt from Home Fruit Growing in California This circular is designed for those who wish to grow fruit and nuts on a small scale for their own use and not for those who may grow fruit as a business. Although nearly all the fruits that the amateur can hope to produce are already available in our home markets, many of us desire to raise something of our own. As a matter of economics, home fruit grow ing is a poor investment; but happily, no matter how much we may try to convince ourselves to the contrary, we grow home fruits not for mone tary gain but as a labor of love. There is a pride of possession in produc ing some nice fruit, for it can be done; but the work is primarily a sport or recreation. It is the creative instinct that makes us want to dig in the soil and plant something. The fructifying soil holds great mystery for us all. As most people know, growing things out of the earth is a gamble, where skill and chance combine to make a most fascinating game. If we persist until we acquire skill and wisdom; study our plants, treat them properly, protect them from their enemies, we may be rewarded with all the fruit we can use and (best of all) with some to present to our friends, which is the sweetest of all rewards for the amateur. As already mentioned, this publication is intended to help the begin ner. Whereas practically all of our books and experiment-station publi cations on the subject were written for commercial fruit growers, this circular is frankly for the amateur, and all the discussions will be from his standpoint. The professional orchardist is always cautioned, for ex ample, to select a site having the climate, soil, water, and marketing facilities that will promote his financial success. The homeowner, on the other hand, must use the site he has, whether all conditions are fav crable or not. His back yard may be only a second or a third-rate location for fruit, but he wants to use it. Fortunately, practices unjustifiable on a large scale may be followed in a small way: Poor soil can be greatly modified and ameliorated if one will go to the necessary trouble and ex pense. To provide for a few trees only, a swampy spot may be reclaimed, an unfavorable soil or subsoil completely made over. Individual fruits or even whole clusters may be protected against diseases and insects by enclosing them in bags made of paper, gauze, or cellophane. Even the mean temperature for a few trees may be raised considerably in a cold. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The California Fruits and How to Grow Them The writer desires to express sincere gratitude for the cordial welcome and patronage which the two earlier editions of this treatise have received, not only in California, but in other semitropical countries. At the time of the preparation of the first edition in 1889 there was no thought that it would find foreign fields of usefulness; it was merely the earnest hope of the writer that it would win its way as a safe guide to the extension of the fruit interests of California; and to that end no effort was spared to constitute the work an explicit and truthful statement of natural conditions attending fruit growing in California, and accurate descriptions of the practises which best minister to success under these conditions. The generous patronage bestowed upon the work by Californians for a decade is a demonstration that this purpose was attained, and it is largely owing to their cordial commendation that the work has extended so widely into foreign fields. It is profoundly satisfactory to the writer to have the assurance that the acceptance of the treatise as a faithful guide to practise in California has actually foreshadowed its popularity wherever the same fruits are grown; and, inversely, its acceptance abroad is indirect evidence of its accuracy and helpfulness in California. With such inspiration as naturally proceeds from these facts, the writer has for two years devoted such time as could be spared from other pressing duties to a thorough revision of the work, condensing portions which were diffuse or merely of passing, local interest, and expanding other portions which are of deep and lasting importance and in which California experience and experiment really involve knowledge new to horticultural literature and of the widest applicability. The revision has required a rewriting of the most important chapters and a study of original data nearly equal to that involved in the preparation of the treatise in the first instance. The illustrations have also been largely replaced and the work brought up to the beginning of the century. As was done in connection with earlier editions, the writer desires to extend to all readers an exhortation to correction of any statement which may seem unwarranted from their points of view and experience. The subject is varied, multifold, and involved, every new fact is important and will be welcomed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Bush Fruit Culture in California Classic Reprint written by Arthur Howard Hendrickson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bush Fruit Culture in California Bush fruits, especially the brambles, or fruits of the raspberry and blackberry type (see frontispiece), are grown in nearly all parts of California. The plantings vary from the few bushes cultivated for home use to plantations in which several hundred acres may be devoted to the production of enough berries to supply both local and distant markets with fresh fruit and allow a considerable portion of the surplus to be canned. Nearly all of the bush fruits are adapted to California soil and climatic conditions. Although some of the sorts are not grown extensively in the hot, dry sections of the state, even these may be grown in home gardens by judicious handling. With a succession of varieties, berries for the table may be produced throughout a long season. Bush berries are, for the most part, best adapted for growing in regions comparatively close to the consuming centers. They are generally consumed in the fresh conditions and must, therefore, be fully mature. And present an attractive appearance when displayed for sale. In some districts a considerable portion of the crop is preserved, or made into jams and jellies. Small quantities are sometimes dehydrated and sold as dried fruit. Probably the chief outlet for the commercially canned berries is the bakery trade, in which they are made into pies or tarts. This trade also uses a. Considerable quantity of frozen berries. In the latter case, the berries are fro-zen and keptfin the original container at a temper 'ature of about 20 degrees Fahrenheit until used. Berries handled in this way are said to retain more nearly the fresh flavor and aroma than those preserved in any other manner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Home Fruit Grower Michigan, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, in all of which sections I have either resided or Spent much time with fruit growers. Since my travels in sub-tropical regions have been limited I have been obliged to draw on the experience and Opinions of other fruit growers for judgments and descriptions of such fruits and fruit varieties. Doubtless the majority of my readers, having small areas at their disposal, need suggestions as to the maximum utilization of available space. They should, therefore, be pleased with the chapters on Laying Out the Plantation, upon Combining Beauty with Comfort and Utility, and updm Dwarf Fruits, also with the ample directions for growing the various Bush Fruits. I can scarcely urge too strongly that each reader plant at least some of the unusual fruits and fruit-bearing ornamentals, for the novelty and variety of the thing. In this connection special attention may be directed to the few paragraphs on origination of new varieties (see Contents), because at least some of these fruits should prove highly interesting as subjects with which to experiment. Plant breeding, however, is in itself a subject for a far larger volume than this one and can only be mentioned as the most interesting and absorb ing field of all horticultural effort.

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?
