Synopsis

This antique book contains a comprehensive guide on growing melons. It was the original aim of the author to provide the latest information concerning the requirements for growing melons, as to soil and climate, and directions for planting and cultivation which will apply to the small grower for home use as well as to the large commercial grower. The principle species of insects and diseases are also described and remedies recommended. The chapters of this book include: 'History and Botany of the Melon', 'Conditions Affecting Growth', 'Soils', 'The Seed', 'Fertilizers for Melons', 'Starting The Plants', 'Cultural Methods', 'Harvesting and Marketing Melons', 'Forcing Melons', 'Insects and Diseases', and 'List of Varieties'. This book was originally published in 1918, and we are proud to republish it now complete with a new introduction on the subject.

A propos du livre

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.
