Product Description
by Samuel B. Green (Author)
This vintage book is a complete guide to growing apples, with information on growing at home, growing in orchards, pests and diseases, harvesting, marketing, and many other related aspects. Profusely illustrated and full of useful tips, this volume will appeal to both existing and prospective fruit growers, and would make for a great addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: "Locations Especially Adapted to Orcharding", "Location of the Apple Orchard", "The Worst Location for an Orchard", "Wind-Breaks", "The Land Best Adapted to the Growth of Apples", "Trees", "Seedlings", "Root-Grafted Trees", "Planting", "The Time to Plant", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on growing fruit.
