Book Description
Excerpt from Orchard Management; Cover Crops in Orchards; Pruning of Orchards; Report on Fruits The amount of these materials that should be used per tree, will depend upon the size and the vigor of the trees. A good growth must be produced if large fruit is expected. A very good rule to follow in this matter is to use enough to produce a growth at the ends of the branches of from six to twelve inches each year.

Book Description
Excerpt from Experiments in Orchard Management in New England The object of the orchard in the - first place is to produce fruit. If we are to expect tree growth when the tree is young and a sustaining productive growth when mature, we must ren der the conditions favorable for such results. Just how much and often cultivation is needed, and the best means of obtaining it, kinds of implements to use, etc., are open questions. Results are what we are after. If one person can demonstrate that his orchard is more productive than others, we should look into his method of tillage and satisfy ourselves how closely it can be applied to our conditions. The nature of the soil is of great importance in considering this question. Our soil may require constant cultivation or tillage in order to get desirable tree growth; while another with comparatively little attention may be very responsive. As a rule, however, it is an excep tional orchard that gives satisfactory results without receiving occasional tillage. Some lands, in fact many in New England, are too rolling for continuous tillage. This would result in the washing or gullying out of the land and the loss of our best surface soils, which should be prevented. Where the land is level this is another matter and can be practised. On lands only moderately rolling and on others where only certain por tions are liable to wash, a crop of some kind could be sown, known as a cover crop, which answers well in keeping the soil from washing throughout the fall and winter. On rolling land washing can largely be prevented by cultivating the soil cross wise, with the contour of the hill. Where the wash is liable to be heavy even if this is done, if a plowed4furrow is run along the contour several rods apart, the distance depending upon the steepness of the slope, this will largely overcome the trouble. The benefits from cultivation will usually be large. A promi nent pomologist has written: If tillage and timely effort are good for corn, and peach trees, and blackberries, they ought also to be good for apple trees.

Excerpt from Orchard Management and Cost of Pecan Production Native seedling pecans are confined mainly to river valleys and flood plains in the country between the Mississippi River and west central Texas. On the other hand, the commercial production of improved varieties of pecans comes mostly from the East Gulf and South Atlantic Coastal Plains, and the lower Piedmont country from Mississippi to Virginia. Although Oklahoma and Texas are increasingly important as producers of improved varieties of pecans. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Studies in Orchard Management, Vol. 2: Factors Influencing Fruit Development of the Apple The development of the apple is dependent on food supply and seed content. Both factors are essential from a practical standpoint. Apples which fall in the June drop contain fewer seeds than apples which set and develop. There is a high degree of correlation between seed content and weight of apple for both drop and set apples at the time of the June drop.

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.

Book Description
Excerpt from Care and Management of Orchards Bulletin No. 12 dealt principally with the preliminary work in starting commercial orchards, and I now propose to deal with the care and management of orchards after they are fairly under way. Before proceeding further, I will again refer to an unaccountable error which occurred on page 3 of Bulletin 12, where, in advising the selection of a site, I am made to say that western and southern exposures are not adapted for orchards; this should read eastern and southern. And further on a north-eastern exposure is recommended; this should read a north-western exposure. The context shows the intention, but the errors are nevertheless probably very perplexing. Cultivation. Possibly the most potent factor in the success of an orchard is the proper cultivation of the soil, keeping it free of weeds and plant growth generally, and by this means having the surface in a perfect state of tilth and thus keeping the trees healthy and strong, so that they are better able to withstand the attacks of diseases and insect pests. It is an undeniable fact that new diseases are constantly finding their way into our orchards, in spite of the utmost vigilance of the Board of Horticulture, and the best way of resisting and eradicating these diseases is keeping the trees healthy; thorough cultivation is a beter specific than any after-methods - prevention is always better than cure. As a matter of course, some soils naturally require more cultivation than others, but all soils should be kept in a state of cultivation, either by means of shallow ploughing, disc harrowing, or by use of the cultivator until the period of full maturity of fruit and foliage is attained, when cultivation may be discontinued until the following season. Referring to the subject of cultivation of the soil, L. H. Bailey says in Bulletin 19, Cornell University: - "A finely divided, mellow, friable soil is more productive than a hard and lumpy one of the same chemical composition, because it holds and retains more moisture; holds more air; presents greater surface to the roots; promotes nitrification; hastens the decomposition of the mineral elements; has less variable extremes of temperature; allows a better root hold to the plant. In all those ways and others the mellowness of the soil renders the plant food more available, and affords a congenial and comfortable place in which the plant may grow." There is no harm - in fact, it might be done with profit - during the first few years in the life of an orchard to raise hoed crops between the trees, but as soon as the trees begin to send their roots any distance and the foliage shades the land, it is not advisable to continue the practice. Seeding down with clover and ploughing in, when the trees are several years old, is recommended for the purpose of adding humus and fertility to the soil.

Excerpt from Hints on the Construction and Management of Orchard-Houses Of these structures have been erected in such a rough and imperfect manner, that they are inefficient for the purpose they were intended to serve, and are anything but an ornament to the gardens in which they are placed. Knowing that every failure was a fact eagerly welcomed by those who oppose everything new, I wished to show that before the system could be fairly tried, it was necessary to have a house adapted for the purpose, and a cer tain amount of information on the part of the person having the care of it. The gradual improvement which has taken place in building orchard-houses shows that these impressions were not without foundation. The success of my little book was as gratifying as it was unexpected. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
