Book Description
Excerpt from Modern Orchard Practices Horticultural science is to-day making rapid strides in the solution of prob lems upon which light has long been wanting. Scientific research is unearthing a wealth of material, much of which offers practical solutions or, at least, sug gestions for some of the difficulties in profitable orchard management. Pruning recommendations to-day are radically different from those of a few years ago, and the new recommendations are based on experimental results. The much discussed fertilizer problem is now being studied from a plant physiological and biochemical standpoint, which, together with external observations, has enabled us to see this problem in an entirely new light, and although definite rules cannot, and perhaps never will, be made, on account of differences of location and types of soils, many helpful and suggestive recommendations have been the outcome. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in our edition.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Orchard and Fruit Garden: Their Culture and Produce We have so many excellent large and expensive works on fruit culture, that I should never have thought of writing this one, if its peculiar place had not stood vacant, waiting to be filled. It is the first cheap work on the Orchard and Fruit Garden. Those who, like myself, have had through life some space of land, between a pole and an acre, at command, do not need to be puzzled with lists of hundreds in the selection of the trees they want; their need is one which I have made it my endeavour to supply, i.e. particulars of a few good sorts of fruit trees of all kinds which any careful cultivator can manage, and which may be obtained at any good nursery. The sorts named are good, those I most recommend I have tested, and the directions given respecting their cultivation will be found plain, concise, and practical. I can only hope my little book will be found useful to all who delight in fruit culture, but who cannot command access to voluminous and expensive works upon the subject.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Apple: A Practical Treatise Dealing With the Latest Modern Practices of Apple Culture Much has been published on apple-growing. Growers and others have written many books dealing with the subject; experiment stations have carried on various kinds of investigations to deter mine conclusively the most efficient methods in all the subdivisions of the culture of this king of fruits bulletins have been issued in large numbers, until fruit growers are overwhelmed with the mass of information that has been collected about apples. After a careful perusal of all the available writings on apple growing, the author of this book became deeply convinced of the need of a single volume that would present in a logical manner the most essential of the recent practical ideas and methods. Such a book he has endeavored to prepare. While he has drawn on his own experience in the subject, he has also culled largely from the writings of others, and particularly from the experimental evidence they have offered. In presenting this work the author hopes that the investigator will gain easier access to much that will aid him in a study of the question; that the farmer or fruit specialist will find just the up to-date information and directions needed; that the amateur will feel confidence in basing his cultural requirements on the matter herein contained and, particularly, that the student may find here the subject matter and the arrangement required for a systematic course in apple-growing. The field covered has been made broad enough to include the practices of a large number of the typical apple-producing regions of North America. In so highly specialized an industry as this, a somewhat comprehensive treatment is felt to be decidedly im portant. Otherwise the special practices followed in limited areas are likely to be mistaken for rules of general application.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Gilbert System of Orchard Planting Vantages o y e o p mg are a o s the land to be more fully occupied all the time than when the trees are planted in squares, and that the thinning may be done as needed, without spoiling the final symmetry of the orchard. On the scale shown the original trees are planted so that each is 20 feet distant from six others, thus forming a hexagon and in the mature orchard each tree will be 40 feet distant from six others. In square planting forty feet apart there are 27 trees to the acre while in hexagonal planting there are 33 trees. If the six additional trees produce three barrels of apples each it adds 18 barrels to the acre which at per barrel means an increase of per acre per year; an item worth considering. It makes provision for cross pollenization of two varieties, which is very important, and is so arranged that the number of trees in the permanent orchard may be equally divided between two varieties, or if one variety proves to be much more profitable than the other, the trees of that variety may predominate. No man'can say today, which variety would be the most profitable to grow in 1930, and planted in this way, you have an option on varieties until about 20 years after the orchard is planted. The fillers may cost 30c. Each and 20c. To set them, but in 8 years. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
