Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Oak Spring Pomona is the second in a series of catalogues describing selections of rare books and other material in the Oak Spring Garden Library, a collection formed by Mrs. Paul Mellon. The Pomona describes one hundred books and manuscripts about fruit, with illustrations taken from some of the most beautiful books on the subject as well as from original drawings and paintings. The earliest book described is Bussatos Giardino di Agricoltura of 1592, the latest The Herefordshire Pomona, an encyclopedia of apples and pears from the 1870s. In between there are fruit books large and small: La Quintinie's Instruction pour les Jardins fruitiers, Duhamel's Traite des arbres fruitiers, and many others. The book is divided into sections on fruit-growing in France and Britain, fruit elsewhere in Europe, and fruit in America, as well as citrus fruit, apples and pears, peaches and soft fruit, grapes, melons, and tropical fruit. Each description gives the background of the book and its relationship to others and is accompanied by illustrations of its contents in color and black and white. The Pomona includes not only brief bibliographical summaries of each book but also background wssays that place the books in a historical setting.

This book was released on 2013-05-31 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The Old English Faring Books” explores the history of English farming, exploring notable authors and the developments in agriculture that they were arguably responsible for. Beginning with “Fitzherbert’s Boke of Husbondrye”, first published in 1523, this volume explores two hundred years of farming and farming literature, making it highly recommended for those with an interest in the history and development of modern farming techniques. Contents include: “Introduction”, “Tudor times”, “The Age of Markham”, “The Age of Hartlib”, “The Age of Worlidge and Houghton”, “The Age of Richard Bradley”, “Bibliography”, and “Appendix”. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on farming.

Download or read book Pomona s Harvest written by H. Frederic Janson and published by Timber Press (OR). This book was released on 1996 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Roman mythology, fruit was believed to be a gift from the goddess Pomona, and the study of fruit culture is therefore called pomology. Pomona's Harvest is an illustrated in-depth review, never attempted before, of the European literature dealing with fruit from antiquity to the Industrial Revolution. Frederic Janson draws readers into this arcane yet fascinating subject by placing it against the background of history, showing the connections among pomology, social history, and the history of ideas. Janson divides the first part of Pomona's Harvest into specific periods: antiquity and the Middle Ages; orchardist authors to Louis XIV; the Jeffersonian literary approach to fruit; Enlightenment and Revolution; fruit books for the bourgeoisie; and more. Noblemen, clerics, estate gardeners, lawyers, scholars, and poets render their individual pomological theories. The second part of the book is a detailed bibliography that describes over 600 fruit-related works and critically abstracts their contents. An 8-page color spread and 139 black-and-white illustrations delightfully augment the text, each one telling a story about the nature of the period.
