Plain Fruit Growing - For Small Families (Paperback)

This early work is a fascinating read for any gardening enthusiast or historian, but contains much information that is still useful and practical today. It is a thoroughly recommended title for the amateur or professional arborist or horticulturalist's shelf. With 14 text illustrations. Contents Include: Introduction; Apples; Pears; Plums; Cherries; Peaches and Nectarines; Figs; Apricots; Medlars; Quinces; Mulberries; Grapes (Outdoor); Black Currants; Red Currants and White; Gooseberries; Raspberries; Loganberries; Strawberries; Cob Nuts and Filberts; and Walnuts. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
