The text covers a wide range of topics related primarily to cultivating various fruits, with the greatest focus on pears, apples, and peaches. Many additional fruits are discussed as well, including plums, cherries, grapes, and berries.

There are also chapters on soil management and fruit preservation. The author draws from both English and American experts in the field and includes diagrams and illustrations throughout the text.
