Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating and informative guide to the cultivation of figs in the Northern States, a concept that may seem surprising to the modern reader. The author, a passionate fig grower from the mid-19th century, argues convincingly that the fig is an ideal fruit for the northern climate, excelling in its hardiness, productivity, and deliciousness. The book delves into the history of the fig, its botanical characteristics, and its cultural significance in Europe and the Middle East. Through detailed instructions and personal anecdotes, the author dispels the notion that figs are only suitable for warmer climates. He provides a practical guide to planting, cultivating, protecting, and harvesting figs in northern regions, addressing the specific challenges of a colder climate. The author even includes a comprehensive catalog of fig varieties, their unique qualities, and their suitability for different purposes, from fresh eating to drying and preserving. This book offers a unique glimpse into the world of 19th century horticulture and challenges the reader to reconsider the potential of figs as a valuable and rewarding fruit crop. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
