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?

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hints on Fruit Growing We trust the following Hints to Growers may be found of some little service to some of those who are following and who intend embarking in our Industry and also to the Dilettante who finds amusement in the garden. We have tried to make our remarks practical and the ideas intelligible. Several paragraphs have been taken over from foreign sources, as we found there our own ideas very clearly expressed. Advice tendered herein to growers is not theoretical but is based in nearly every instance on personal experience, or the experience of others that has come under our observation. The whole has been brought thoroughly up to the date of cur latest experience, which in some instances readers will see it has been found necessary to alter or modify from those contained in our last catalogue. No attempt has been made to deal with technical questions such as the character of soils, the action of manures, the budding and grafts of trees, the circulation of sap, c.;all these matters can be found in the numerous standard works on fruit culture written by much abler pens than ours, and by men who have technical knowledge which we make no claim to possess.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bush-Fruits Large areas of some Of the bush-fruits are grown at times, but their more important place is in diversified fruit growing. Under exceptional conditions, with an assured market at hand, the growing Of large areas of a single fruit may be wise, but under normal conditions it is likely to be fraught with disappointment. The production and consumption Of strawberries is nearly or quite as great now as ever, but the tendency is apparently away from larger areas, the total product being grown by a much larger number Of men, most Of whom supply the de mands of their own locality, rather than depend on the wider wholesale markets Of the country. This tendency is doubtless wise, for the home market is Often the best. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Fruit Growing for Amateurs Classic Reprint written by Harry Higgott Thomas and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fruit Growing for Amateurs The cultivation of fruit trees, if practised with care and dis crimination, proves of absorbing interest, and is profitable. If, however, the work is commenced by the inexperienced without due inquiry, and in ignorance of essential details of cultivation, failure, comparative if not absolute, is inevitable. Providing the amateur plants a representative selection of fruits, and disposes them in the positions best suited to their needs, he will not have long to wait for some return on his outlay. He should plant not only Apple, Pear, Plum, Peach, and Cherry - none of which gives a fair cr0p until several years have passed - but Strawberry, Raspberry, Gooseberry, and Currant. If Strawberries are planted in late summer a. Cr0p of excellent fruits may be obtained the following year, and the bush fruits quickly come into bearing. By widening the scope of his fruit garden the amateur adds not only to its interest, but secures a profitable return in as short a time as possible. If walls are available it should be the object of the gardener to cover them without delay, for wall area is valuable. The simplest way to do this is to plant trained standards between the fan-trained trees or espaliers; in the course of years the latter will spread and occupy the whole wall area, but, meanwhile, much fruit can be obtained from the trained standard trees planted to fill the upper part of the wall.

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.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Profitable Fruit-Growing for Cottagers and Small Holders of Land Varieties of fruits, notably of the most important - Apples - have been chosen for their usefulness, earliness in bearing, with good appearance and quality of the fruit, rather than for the predominance of some one particular merit esteemed by connoisseurs and, as far as possible, those sorts have been included which have proved the most productive in generally unfruitful years. Slow, shy, and uncertain bearers, no matter how handsome and excellent the fruit, are not the most useful for planting by cottagers and small holders in gardens or fields.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hints and Encouragements for Profitable Fruit Growing The following treatise was mostly written as 3. Prize Essay, in competition with about sixteen others, for the Gold Medal of the Fruiterers' Company, last year. It was sent to the Judges under the motto of Hope On, and they reported that it was one of those deserving to be considered and described as particularly meritorious. The terms and conditions of that competition stated that the object is to encourage Fruit Culture by Cottagers, and others with small holdings, as a substitute for, or adjunct to, the ordinary methods of cropping their gardens and allotments with roots or other vegetables. This Essay differs from that to which the prize was awarded in one important aspect, namely, that it deals with every variety of fruit usually grown in England, whilst only the ordinary orchard fruits and the hardy bush fruits are treated of in the Prize Essay.
