Synopsis

There are two kinds of fruit growing: that which desires the product primarily for home use, and that which desires it primarily for market. The latter type of fruit-growing is what this text primarily concerns itself with, expounding on the different types of commercial fruit-growing and continuing to outline the differences of methodology and significance thereof in relation to contemporary America. Intrinsic to the progress and evolution of American society, the themes of this scarce text are both interesting and informative, constituting a must-read for both agriculture enthusiasts and discerning historians - professional and amateur alike. Liberty Hyde Bailey was an American botanist, horticulturist, and cofounder of the American Society for Horticultural Science. First published in 1897, we are proud to republish this culturally significant text with a new biography of the author.

This conception of a fruit is wholly unlike the botanical idea, for the botanist defines the fruit to be the ripened pericarp and attachments. It should be said, however, that this confusion iu terminology is not the

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
