Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Varieties of Plums Derived From Native American Species Comparatively few data appear to be available concerning the parentage of varieties, and in particular information is lacking as to what has served as either the seed or pollen parent of a given variety. Definite statements may be found indicating a direct wild origin for about 6 nigra, 50 americana, 7 hortulana, 3 munsoniana, and 15 angustifolia varieties, and probably the actual number introduced from the wild is somewhat greater in each case. A large majority of the varieties have originated under cultivation, yet, as stated above, exact statements concerning the seed or pollen parents of many of them do not appear to be available. What seem to be reliable accounts concerning the origin of varieties show Cheney to be the seed parent of 1 variety; De Soto of 12; Forest Garden, 2; Gold Coin, 1; Hammer, 1; Harrison, 15; Hawkeye, 10; Iowa Beauty, 1; Lottie, 2; Minor, 8; Poole Pride, 1; Pottawattamie, 1; Purple Yosemite, 1; Quaker, 2; Robinson, Rollingstone, 3; Sioux, 1; Surprise, 1; Van Buren, ' 9; Wayland, 2; Weaver, 3; Wild Goose, 26; and, Wolf, 4. So far as known, these parent varieties, with four ex ceptions, are of wild origin. These four exceptions are Hammer, which is a seedling of Miner; Hawkeye, a seedling of Quaker; Lottie.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Native American Species of Prunus A few years later, in 1534, Jacques Cartier (43, p. 17; 68, p. 31) observed some time during the month of July what was probably the fruit of Pranas nigra. They have also plums, which they dry as we do for the winter; they call them Honesta. The fruit even of this species must have been brought some distance, for it is not known to occur far below the vicinity of Montreal, and no other in that region has fruit large enough to be dried in the manner described. On his second voyage (43 p. Plums were again observed by Car tier in the vicinity of an island which the explorers named Isle de Bacchus, and which is now known as the Isle of Orleans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Plums of New York A special effort has been made to give as exactly as possible the regions in which the species and varieties of plums grow. Such an effort is made under the belief that this knowledge is of great value in the study of the factors which govern the distribution of wild and domesticated plants. If the boundaries of the regions in which a few scores of varieties of the several fruits grow can be accurately established valuable generalizations can be drawn regarding life zones and plant distribution. The reader should know what considerations have governed the selection of varieties for color-plates and full descriptions. These are: (1) The known value of the variety for the commercial or amateur grower. (2) The probable Value of new varieties. (3) To furnish data for the plum breeder; to show combinations of species or varieties, or new characters, or the range in variation. (4) Some sorts have been described because of historical value - to better show what the trend of plum evolution has been. (5) T 0 indicate the relationships of species and varieties. The varieties are divided into three groups according to their importance as gauged from the standpoints given above.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plums and Plum Culture: A Monograph of the Plums Cultivated and Indigenous in North America, With a Complete Account of Their Propagation, Cultivation and Utilization The principal reasons why Downing's great book will never be revised are these: First, the list of varieties known and grown in America is so great that one man cannot have an intimate knowledge of them all. Second, their local variations and adaptations are so multitudinous, now that horticulture has spread over the whole expanse of the continent, that each variety requires a more critical study than before. For these two reasons the various groups of fruits must hereafter be handled by specialists. Third, if all these variety notes could be collected into one work it would require several volumes to contain them. Fourth, fruit growers of to-day demand a more extended discussion of the matters of practice than was given by Downing; and this again requires additional space and further expert knowledge. Fifth, fruit growing is becoming more and more specialized, so that the man who grows pears does not care for a treatise on plums nor the plum crank much for a book about pears. Among the specialists in the different lines of pomology no one lot exhibits more ardor, enthusiasm, or esprit de corps than the self-styled "plum cranks."

Download or read book Handbook of Alcoholic Beverages 2 Volume Set written by Alan J. Buglass and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-02-14 with total page 1207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HANDBOOK OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES A comprehensive two-volume set that describes the science and technology involved in the production and analysis of alcoholic beverages HANDBOOK OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES Technical, Analytical and Nutritional Aspects At the heart of all alcoholic beverages is the process of fermentation, particularly alcoholic fermentation, whereby sugars are converted to ethanol and many other minor products. The Handbook of Alcoholic Beverages tracks the major fermentation process, and the major chemical, physical and technical processes that accompany the production of the world’s most familiar alcoholic drinks. Indigenous beverages and small-scale production are also covered to a significant extent. The overall approach is multidisciplinary, reflecting the true nature of the subject. Thus, aspects of biochemistry, biology (including microbiology), chemistry, health science, nutrition, physics and technology are all necessarily involved, but the emphasis is on chemistry in many areas of the book. Emphasis is also on more recent developments and innovations, but there is sufficient background for less experienced readers. The approach is unified, in that although different beverages are dealt with in different chapters, there is extensive cross-referencing and comparison between the subjects of each chapter. Appropriate for food professionals working in the development and manufacture of alcohol-based drinks, as well as academic and industrial researchers involved in the development of testing methods for the analysis and regulation of alcohol in the drinks industry. Divided into five parts, this comprehensive two-volume work presents: INTRODUCTION, BACKGROUND AND HISTORY: a simple introduction to the history and development of alcohol and some recent trends and developments. FERMENTED BEVERAGES: BEERS, CIDERS, WINES AND RELATED DRINKS: the latest innovations and aspects of the different fermentation processes used in beer, wine, cider, liqueur wines, fruit wines, low-alcohol and related beverages. SPIRITS: covers distillation methods and stills used in the production of whisky, cereal- and cane-based spirits, brandy, fruit spirits and liqueurs. ANALYTICAL METHODS: covering the monitoring of processes in the production of alcoholic beverages, as well as sample preparation, chromatographic, spectroscopic, electrochemical, physical, sensory and organoleptic methods of analysis. NUTRITION AND HEALTH ASPECTS RELATING TO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES: includes a discussion on nutritional aspects, both macro- and micro-nutrients, of alcoholic beverages, their ingestion, absorption and catabolism, the health consequences of alcohol, and details of the additives and residues within the various beverages and their raw materials.
