Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hand-Book for Fruit Growers
The preparation of the pages in this work have been instigated by a long time attention to the wants of those who yearly plant out fruit trees, vines and plants.
Visiting our yearly gatherings of men throughout the country at the local, county and state agricultural and horticultural societies' meetings, together with the fact that not an editor of a journal, more or less devoted to the improvement of rural life, and as aid thereto, gives items touching of fruit, etc., but is almost daily in receipt of questions touching the "How and when to plant?" "What varieties to use?" has brought us to write as plainly and practically as possible, and within a scale that may be sold at a price to meet the pocket of every man who desires to plant trees or vines in his ground, looking forward to their producing him valuable fruit, to minister as food toward health and longevity of life.
