Book Description
Developed especially for use by backyard orchardists, rare fruit growers, and small-scale growers, The Home Orchard offers a comprehensive look at standard growing methods, as well as some innovative practices that enthusiasts have developed in recent years, some of which are uniquely suited to the small-scale grower. You will learn how trees grow, which species grow best in the different regions and soils, varieties from which to select, preparing the soil, planting, watering and fertilizing, pruning and grafting, thinning the fruit, diagnosing problems, controlling pests, and harvesting. You'll also find special attention given to organic and non-toxic pest management and fertilization methods. Key pests and diseases are identified and natural control methods are emphasized. Irrigation methods for the backyard grower are discussed and the difficult task of how often and how much water to apply is simplified. The focus is on giving the trees enough water but doing so in an efficient, water-saving manner. Included are hundreds of photographs and diagrams that clearly show how to produce the best crops. Photos of several practices, such as key budding and grafting methods, are depicted in step-by-step photos. No other publication provides this breadth and depth of coverage --

Book Description
Excerpt from The California Fruits and How to Grow Them: A Manual of Methods Which Have Yielded Greatest Success; With Lists of Varieties Best Adapted to the Different Districts of the State The author desires to return his sincere thanks to the hundreds of friends whose experience has been so freely related in answer to his requests for practical informa tion. The aim has been throughout the work to fully acknowledge the sources whence aid has been received, both because of honesty and fairness, and that this work might also serve as an index to the horticultural experience and literature of the State, and to indicate many by whose observation thought, and enterprise, practical methods have been successfully devised to meet the requirements of a new country. To the publishers special acknowledgment is due for the generous provision made for full illustration and embellishment of the work. The full-page plates of California seedling fruits are made by the Dewey Engraving co., by a photographic process, directly from the fruit itself, thus securing striking fidelity to nature, which must commend itself to all.
