Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fruit Growing With a Selected List of Varieties for New Hampshire Soils adapted for growing almost any kind of tillable crops and in good heart will grow fruits. The mistake is often made that the best of our farm fields are too good for fruit and should be retained for agriculture. No land is too good 'for fruit growing, and when one realizes that the profits derived from fruits usually average from two to ten times that of general agricultural crops on the same area, why should they not be given first place? Fruits do and will grow on our rocky hillsides and worthless fields, but this does not prove that for best results they should be planted in such situ ations. When preparing the soil to receive fruits, extra attention should be given it. The deeper the soil is stirred and the better its physical and mechanical condition the better the results to be obtained. When the trees or bushes are set they must have continued care and attention. The appear ance of the trees and bushes themselves usually tells the story. If the plants are given proper nourishment and culture, they will make quick growth and rapid development, but it allowed to shift for themselves, they become stunted and eke out a miserable and usually an unprofitable existence. Many plow up a field and set out a fruit plantation one season the next it is in sod and forgotten. In about eight years, when apple trees, for example, -should be coming into bearing, in stead of picking fruit, it is often a hard matter to find the trees themselves. Fruit trees, like animals, are living things, and unless fed and icared for they are not to blame for not doing their best. Animals can forage for themselves, if neglected.

Book excerpt: There are many compelling reasons why you might want to grow a fruit tree or trees in your front or back yard. Ideally, it is because you want to taste fruit fresh from the tree. There is nothing like the experience of biting into a freshly picked apple, cherry, peach or pear. You cannot beat a backyard fruit tree for freshness, availability and quality. If you plant your own fruit tree, you have control over such things as variety. You can choose an unusual variety of fruit not usually found in the store. Stores tend to stick to the more popular or obvious choices. They may not stock heritage varieties. The store is also not responsible for the conditions in which the tree grows. You are. As a result, you can ensure the fruit trees are free from heavy use of pesticides, herbicides and other chemical products. Another reason to grow your own fruit tree is the beauty and distinctiveness it can add to your garden. Trees are graceful and elegant or short and stocky. They are a natural force unto themselves. A fruit tree adds grace, beauty and shade. If you plant it in the right location, the tree will be a focal point, a specimen tree, a conversation topic.
