The Fruit Grower's Guide, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint) by John Wright Pdf

Excerpt from The Fruit Grower's Guide, Vol. 1 It may be expected that few thoughtful persons will be inclined to dispute those propositions; especially, perhaps, the last of them. Fruit, in its best condition, is the purest of food, health-giving, life-sustaining and delicious. It was the first food of the human family, and it has been the last food of countless thousands in the decline of life, accepted and enjoyed when coarser was rejected, and so it will be to the end of time. Yet the full value of fruit is by no means generally appreciated. It is regarded by many, if not the majority, as a luxury 2 and a luxury it undoubtedly is to vast numbers of the dwellers in populous cities, while there are several districts in which the inhabitants either do not have nearly so much as they wish, and as would be good for them, or they have to consume what is inferior. A full, good, and cheap supply of the different sorts of fruit that can be produced in this country would be of enormous benefit to the community. How, where, and by whom fruits of various kinds, and of the best quality, can be produced it is the object of this work to point out, and every cultural detail advanced will be founded on experience gained in orchards, gardens, and fruit-growing establishments, with and without the aid of glass structures, in various parts of the kingdom. Until recent years the importance of systematic fruit culture in the gardens and fields of Great Britain had not been adequately recognised. The pursuit is one of the most enjoy able that can be indulged in by all persons who have, or can acquire, land suitable for the purpose. Home-grown fruit is a necessity of life, and the resources of the United Kingdom are equal to the production of the leading kinds in the greatest excellence; indeed it is questionable if so many fruits can be grown equally well in any other part of the globe as in Great Britain and Ireland. Several of the most popular of those fruits, which are being more and more regarded as food products, are indigenous to our land; hence the soil and climate are suitable for their development, or can be made so.

The Fruit-Growers Guide-Book (Classic Reprint) by E. H. Favor Pdf

Excerpt from The Fruit-Growers Guide-Book This little book has been prepared as a means of assisting many persons who have answered the call "back to the land," and who are undertaking the growing of fruit on a commercial scale. It is not intended as an exhaustive treatise on fruit growing, as such is manifestly impossible within the size of such a book. Neither is it expected to tell all that is to be told about fruit growing. Its purpose is to serve for the guidance of the beginner and as a handy reference manual for the busy orchardist. The foundation upon which this little book is based is the many letters which reach the office of The Fruit-Grower, containing inquiries about many phases of fruit-growing. These inquiries come from all parts of the United States and from Canada, and cover almost every phase of horticultural work, although in preparing this book only the general problem of growing the ordinary deciduous orchard fruits has been considered. This problem has been considered in a very general way without specific directions for any particular fruit. Where details for a given fruit have been needed, the treatment of the subject has been boiled down to as concise a form as possible.

Home Fruit Grower (Classic Reprint) by M. G. Kains Pdf

Excerpt from Home Fruit Grower Michigan, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, in all of which sections I have either resided or Spent much time with fruit growers. Since my travels in sub-tropical regions have been limited I have been obliged to draw on the experience and Opinions of other fruit growers for judgments and descriptions of such fruits and fruit varieties. Doubtless the majority of my readers, having small areas at their disposal, need suggestions as to the maximum utilization of available space. They should, therefore, be pleased with the chapters on Laying Out the Plantation, upon Combining Beauty with Comfort and Utility, and updm Dwarf Fruits, also with the ample directions for growing the various Bush Fruits. I can scarcely urge too strongly that each reader plant at least some of the unusual fruits and fruit-bearing ornamentals, for the novelty and variety of the thing. In this connection special attention may be directed to the few paragraphs on origination of new varieties (see Contents), because at least some of these fruits should prove highly interesting as subjects with which to experiment. Plant breeding, however, is in itself a subject for a far larger volume than this one and can only be mentioned as the most interesting and absorb ing field of all horticultural effort.

Successful Fruit Culture by Samuel T. Maynard Pdf

Excerpt from Successful Fruit Culture: A Practical Guide to the Cultivation and Propagation of Fruits During the past ten or fifteen years great progress has been made in the cultivation and care of our hardy fruits and especially in the varieties grown, the methods of packing, shipping and marketing, and during this time few books have been written which have kept up with this progress. This progress and the knowledge of insect and fungous pests and their destruction has been largely recorded in scientific books and papers from the numerous experiment stations, with little from the practical and practicing fruit growers, and there is a growing need of a condensed work giving, in plain language, a summary of the scientific progress made, together with the practice of the most successful fruit growers in various sections of the country. Especially is this information needed that those just starting out in the business of fruit growing, or the village home owner who wishes to grow a small quantity of fruit for family consumption, may find in a condensed form the information necessary for success. It is, therefore, the aim of the author to make a book that is up to date in every particular and to cover the entire practice of fruit growing from the starting of the seed or cutting to the marketing of the fruit, though in many cases works devoted to special fruits may be more complete. It is written from the standpoint of the practical fruit grower who is striving to make his business profitable by growing the best fruit possible and at the least cost.

The Practical Fruit Grower (Classic Reprint) by S. T. Maynard Pdf

Excerpt from The Practical Fruit Grower In this age of book-making, a new book should not be urged u]hi the public unless to supply a real need. My excuse for presenting at this time this little volume, is the want, on the part of beginners in the business of fruit culture, and of the common farmer who has not the time nor inclination to study extensive works upon the subject, of a hook that shall he sold at a small price yet cover the entire field of fruit cultivation, in all its details, in a plain and practical manner. The limits of the present work, however, will not allow of an extended discussion as to the merits of the many methods of growth and cultivation, and I have aimed to give only such as are largely practiced by the most successful fruit growers.

The Fruit Grower's Hand Book by William G. Waring Pdf

Excerpt from The Fruit Grower's Hand Book: A Concise Manual of Directions for the Selection and Culture of the Best Hardy Fruits in the Garden or Orchard Violations of Nature's design, are seen in the tears of the child, gloating over fruits which it may not touch, or sickening with green or half ripe substitutes; in the crime and shame of yielding to a strong temptation, - the golden burthen of a neighbor's tree; \and in unnatural and pernicious thirst for fermented drinks, an appetite scarcely formed by those who enjoy a constant supply of fresh juicy fruits throughout the year. When Doctor Dwight first removed to New Haven, but little fruit was raised there. He urged his neighbors to plant trees, but they said it was of no use, for the boys would steal all the fruit.(53) Plant more, was his answer, make good fruit plenty. Fifteen years afterwards, he pointed to the abundance of fruit, and the ah sence of pillage then enjoyed, in proof of his principle. His mem ory is green.
