Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Apple Growing in California With the large crop of 1926 in practically all sections, prices received for California apples were extremely low. However, the eight-year averages of total value, when compared with comparable figures of other deciduous fruits during the same period, show the value of California's apple crop to have been approximately three times that of either cherries or shipping plums, three times the almond crop, about one million and a half dollars in excess of the pear crop, and almost as great as that of apricot crop. In 1920 and 1921 rather extensive new plantings were made in Sonoma, Butte, San Bernardino, Kern, and Inyo counties. During the past five years new plantings have not been so extensive except in Sonoma and Tuolumne counties. The total number of non-bearing trees for the state now shows a slight decline, while the bearing acreage shows a gradual and consistent increase. With the exception of 1923, a heavy crop year, production has been relatively uniform. Yields on the Whole are dependable, not being so seriously affected by frosts and drought as are the orchards of the eastern states.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pear Growing in California Seeds of commercial pears were planted in the early days of mining in the Sierra foothills of the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys, and a few oriental pears were set out by the Chinese immigrants. Later, graft ing wood and grafted trees of many varieties, brought from the missions, from eastern states, and even from Europe, were grown to supply fruit to miners and other new settlers. With the discovery of gold, certain enterprising young men who had come in search of the precious ore found that more money could be made by supplying fruit for the satisfaction of the prodigal miners, than by panning gold; and pear growing gained impetus. According to Wickson, the Bartlett was brought around the Horn in 1850 and planted in the Napa Valley. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Apricot in California Classic Reprint written by Walter Lafayette Howard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-08-30 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Apricot in California From the above table it is learned that Riverside County has the greatest total number of trees, but Santa Clara has the greatest number in bearing, Santa Clara County ranks second in total number of trees and Ventura third. Ventura also holds third place for the number of trees in bearing. By far the greatest increase in any one county in eleven years has been in Riverside County, which moved from eleventh place in 1909 to first place in 1920. While apricots grow best in the deep, moist valley soils, they are found in abundance along the foothills of all our mountain ranges where there is sufficient moisture to support growth. Although the apricot seems to do best in gravelly or sandy soils, it does well where there is a high percentage of clay, and even in stiff adobe. The apricot, on its own roots at least, will not tolerate a waterlogged soil, but on myrobalan root it is adapted to places where the prune might do well, but where the peach or cherry would not survive.

Download or read book The Varieties of Plums Derived From Native American Species Classic Reprint written by W. F. Wight and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-12-22 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book Plums and Plum Culture written by Frank A. Waugh and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 Apricot Growing in California Classic Reprint written by Arthur Howard Hendrickson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Apricot Growing in California The principal rootstocks used for apricots are apricot, peach, and myrobalan. The apricot and peach are more generally used than the myrobalan. The apricot cannot be relied upon to make a strong union with the myrobalan, for, although the trees often grow well for a number of years, they are apt to break at the graft union under stress of heavy loads or strong winds. The apricot root is resistant to the attacks of nematodes and the Pacific peach tree borers, and for this reason is valuable in districts where these pests are known to exist. All three principal rootstocks used for apricots are more or less susceptible to crown gall. The myrobalan is thought by some growers to be more resistant to oak fungus than either the apricot or peach, and is therefore used to some extent as a rootstock for the apricot. A questionnaire submitted to the nurserymen of California by the Division of Pomology showed that the percentage of apricot trees propagated on apricot stock in the years 1923 to 1928 inclusive varied from 30 per cent to 56 per cent. The percentage on peach stock varied to approximately the same extent. The percentage of apricots on apricot stock was greater than on peach stock four years out of the six for which records were obtained. The proportion of apricots on myrobalan decreased from per cent in 1923 to about 12 per cent in 1928. A few apricots. On Davidiana stock were also propagated during this period. In 1929 approximately 46 per cent of the apricot trees propagated were on apricot root, 16 per cent on myrobalan, and 38 per cent on peach. The almond is not used as a. Rootstock for apricots.
