Growing Tree and Small Fruits (Classic Reprint) by Halsey B. Knapp Pdf

Excerpt from Growing Tree and Small Fruits It has not seemed worth while to include a detailed treatment Of the life histories Of the Various insects and diseases Of fruit. Such a treatment would require a book in itself. The student has been re ferred to his local experimental station and college of agriculture for information concerning the Insects and diseases Of importance in his community. Emphasis in this book has been placed rather on the mechanics Of the use and application Of materials for control, including a full discussion Of machinery. Likewise, information concerning varieties and variety descriptions is available from so many authoritative sources that it has not been included here, other than to enumerate the varieties Of commercial importance in the various fruit-growing sections.

The Trees That Grow the Fruit That Sells (Classic Reprint) by Harrison'S Nurseries Pdf

Excerpt from The Trees That Grow the Fruit That Sells Some propagators use the wood pruned from nursery stock to get their supply of buds. Others cut buds from bearing orchards, but make no selection of the trees which bear the most fruit. It has been pretty thor oughly demonstrated that when young trees are propagated by buds or grafts, they have the same bearing characteristics as the tree from which the budding or grafting wood was cut. If this tree is a regular bearer of heavy cr0ps. Of fine fruit, the young trees in all probability will be the same. If this tree is a shy bearer, or produces inferior fruit, the young trees have very little chance of ever becoming profitable orchard units. You can notice it in your own orchard and neighborhood - one Baldwin or York Imperial tree will bear twice as many apples as another standing alongside it, and better Apples, too. This condition applies as well to Peaches and' Pears and other fruits. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Some Small Fruits (Classic Reprint) by R. B. Cruickshank Pdf

Excerpt from Some Small Fruits Lack of time is usually the excuse given by farmers for not growing these fruits. There is no doubt but that this class of fruits requires care and attention, especially when a fancy marketable product is desired. Naturally, some kinds demand more application thanothers. However, many general farmers are obtaining satisfactory results with a comparatively small expenditure of time and effort. If a man can learn just when and how to perform many of the operations necessary in a small fruit patch, greater success will attend his efforts than when more time is spent, but in an unthinking, unsystematic way. The men who are obtaining returns from their berries consider them well worth the necessary care. The culture of the small fruits ls apt to vary in different localities to a greater degree than does that of the tree fruits. It will often be dependent upon special local conditions and upon the grower himself. In this bulletin only a few of the small fruits, the strawberry, rasp berry, blackberry, gooseberry, and currant, are dealt with and no attempt is made to enter into details or to touch upon special condi tions. Some of the fundamentals and a few rules in common use for the growing of these fruits are given. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Little Fig-Tree Stories (Classic Reprint) by Mary Hallock Foote Pdf

Excerpt from The Little Fig-Tree Stories There is a garden on a hill slope between the snows of the Sierra Nevada and the warm, rich valleys of the coast. It is in that region of Northern California where the pine belt and the fruit belt interlace. Both pine and fruit trees grow in that mountain garden, and there, in the new moon Of February, six young Alm ond trees burst into ower. The Peach and Plum trees in the upper gar den felt a glow Of sympathy with their forward sisters of the south, but the matronly Cherry trees shook their heads at such an untimely show Of blossoms. They foresaw the trouble to come. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Harrison's Nurseries, 1918 (Classic Reprint) by Harrison'S Nurseries Pdf

Excerpt from Harrison's Nurseries, 1918 The quality of Harrison-grown trees is our main pride and the big reason for our marvelous expansion. We grow each and every fruit tree that leaves our packing sheds, and only the very best are allowed to go. Any tree that is not just right is thrown on the brush-pile and burned, as it would not be Harrison policy to allow inferior stock to go to our friends. If you stand in our nurseries and see the blocks of growing trees, you would have to look nearly a mile to see the end of the clean, well-kept rows. Millions of Peach, Apple, and other trees take up considerable space. As far as the eye can really distinguish an object you see nothing but the t0ps of little trees.

This digital edition allows young readers and lifelong fans to continue the legacy and love of a classic that will now reach an even wider audience. "Once there was a tree...and she loved a little boy." So begins a story of unforgettable perception, beautifully written and illustrated by the gifted and versatile Shel Silverstein. This moving parable for all ages offers a touching interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another's capacity to love in return. Every day the boy would come to the tree to eat her apples, swing from her branches, or slide down her trunk...and the tree was happy. But as the boy grew older he began to want more from the tree, and the tree gave and gave and gave. This is a tender story, touched with sadness, aglow with consolation. Shel Silverstein's incomparable career as a bestselling children's book author and illustrator began with Lafcadio, the Lion Who Shot Back. He is also the creator of picture books including A Giraffe and a Half, Who Wants a Cheap Rhinoceros?, The Missing Piece, The Missing Piece Meets the Big O, and the perennial favorite The Giving Tree, and of classic poetry collections such as Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, Falling Up, Every Thing On It, Don't Bump the Glump!, and Runny Babbit.
