The Horticulturist's Hand Book (Classic Reprint) by B. R. Jones Pdf
Excerpt from The Horticulturist's Hand Book By means of this little book the Horticultural Commissioner of Los Angeles County and his staff send greeting to everyone interested in growing plants and trees into whose hands the book may fall, and more especially the careful painstaking fruit growers who have figured so largely in making this and adjoining counties the attractive abiding places which are drawing toward them the appreciative people from all lands. Our office is in business for the purpose of assisting the tree and plant grower in every way possible, not only to get the best results for the present time, but to keep his, and his neighbors' trees in such condition that the future results will be, at least, equally gratifying, and if possible to better the conditions year by year. In this work we have endeavored to meet the need for a collection of useful information along the line of our work, which can be placed in our growers' hands, and which will, in condensed form, give information helpful in almost any problem likely to come to him in his ordinary experience. We do not intend, in any respect, to compete with the very excellent literature issued from our State Agricultural Experiment Station, but to condense and combine the information, in most cases obtained from these bulletins, for more convenient reference in any emergency. We are greatly indebted to this branch of the College of Agriculture, not only for the able treatises on the various insect and plant matters, from which we have obtained much of the data for this work, but also for copies of their illustrations which they have so kindly provided for us; and for assistance in the same way, our State Horticultural Commissioner's office is entitled to our earnest expressions of appreciation.
