" Fruit can be grown almost anywhere" says Mr. Bush, "if you are prepared to take the trouble" . However, quite often the most intelligent and ardent gardener can go wrong simply because the trouble he takes is ill-directed. This book, first published in 1942 and since twice reprinted and revised, tries to guide the amateur in the growing of soft fruits. The subject is dealt with methodically and the general questions of aspect, soil, nursery material and planting procedure are reviewed first. There follows a discussion of the specific cultural details associated with the various soft fruits. The range is wide. Besides the better known blackberries, loganberries, currants, gooseberries, raspberries, strawberries, tomatoes and mushrooms, the less familiar figs, outdoor grapes, mulberries, cranberries, barberries, melons and passion fruit are included. Other matters are dealt with as well. The va.garies of temperature and climate, the use of the compost heap, the need for and practice of spraying are all separately and exactly explained. There is also a chapter on the pruning of cobs, a subject of which many horticulturalists fight shy. The perils and pitfalls which complicate the best laid plans of the most well-intentioned gardener are here averted. Contents Include: An Ounce of Practice Coming Down to Earth On Choosing Nursery Stock Planting Fruit Bushes Blackberries, Loganberries and Hybrids The Black Currant Red and White Currants The Fig Gooseberries Grapes out of Doors The Raspberry Strawberries The Tomato Some Oddments Nuts: Cob Nuts, Filberts and Walnuts Is Spraying Necessary?

Excerpt from Fruit Growing for Amateurs The chief points of difficulty which confront the inexperienced are dealt with, and selections of reliable varieties are given. The pages are freely illustrated by sketches, and these, it is hoped, will assist the reader in elucidating the mysteries of training and pruning. If certain points still remain obscure, let the reader write for further information to the Editor of Popular Gardening, and a reply will be given through the columns of that paper. In the preparation of this book I have to acknowledge the valued assistance of Mr. J. Gardner, who has written several of the chapters. Use has also been made, in a few instances, of notes written by Mr. George Abbey, Mr. H. H. Aitken, and Mr. J. Wright, while many of the sketches have been re-drawn from originals by Mr. H. C. Rollinson, whose explanatory notes accompany them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Amateur Fruit Growing: A Practical Guide to the Growing of Fruit for Home Use and the Market, Written With Special Reference to Colder Climates In my experience as teacher of Horticulture in the School of Agriculture of the University of Minnesota I have not been able to find a book on fruit growing at all adapted to the wants of the students coming under my instruction. In fact, I soon found that the material along this line consisted principally of papers scattered through reports of the various horticultural societies and in the agricultural Dress, and that these were not generally available, nor, indeed, sufficiently condensed for my purpose. The peculiar conditions that obtain in this section of the country, and which render the works of Eastern authorities of little practical value here, made it desirable for me to have some practical book on fruit growing that the students could study and refer to at their convenience. Another reason for presenting this book is that by so doing I might answer the many questions relating to the subject treated, which have been often referred to me, and which have required much time and attention in correspondence. The book is written for the beginner and is not offered as a complete manual of Horticulture, although it is believed to cover all the important points in practical fruit growing. But few varieties are recommended, and only the kinds that have been tried for some considerable period and can be obtained from the general nurserymen. Untried and little known kinds have been purposely avoided, however well they may have appeared. It is my earnest wish that new varieties be let alone by the amateur in horticulture, and that, instead of beginning with novelties in fruits, as is too often the case, he will postpone their trial until he has first tried those kinds that are known to be desirable.
