Book excerpt: Developed especially for use by backyard orchardists, rare fruit growers, and small-scale growers, The Home Orchard offers a comprehensive look at standard growing methods, as well as some innovative practices that enthusiasts have developed in recent years, some of which are uniquely suited to the small-scale grower. You will learn how trees grow, which species grow best in the different regions and soils, varieties from which to select, preparing the soil, planting, watering and fertilizing, pruning and grafting, thinning the fruit, diagnosing problems, controlling pests, and harvesting. You'll also find special attention given to organic and non-toxic pest management and fertilization methods. Key pests and diseases are identified and natural control methods are emphasized. Irrigation methods for the backyard grower are discussed and the difficult task of how often and how much water to apply is simplified. The focus is on giving the trees enough water but doing so in an efficient, water-saving manner. Included are hundreds of photographs and diagrams that clearly show how to produce the best crops. Photos of several practices, such as key budding and grafting methods, are depicted in step-by-step photos. No other publication provides this breadth and depth of coverage --

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Home Fruit Grower In writing this book my aim has been to enhance the home production of fine fruit and thereby foster better living. As the text clearly shows, I have herein consistently ruled against commercial standards and practices, whenever these fall below the high order of merit and quality set by the amateur. The commercial grower produces fruit for a livelihood, to supply the demands of people who do not grow it; the amateur grows it for the joy of achievement, for the realization of a high ideal. In the one case the fruit is the means to an end; in the other, it is the end itself. Both men are needed in our national economy, but of the two, as shown in chapter 13, the amateur from the beginning has played, and should continue to play, the title role because he, rather than the commercial grower, sets the standard of excellence. Such being the case, effort has been made to depict the pleasure of growing - and eating - fine fruits and, by means of photo-engravings, to portray the restful and the refining influences of home fruit growing. These pictures which present glimpses of home plantations, such as those in which my boyhood and young manhood were spent, reveal happy blendings of beauty and utility and should, therefore, prove suggestive and helpful to the dweller on the city and suburban lot, the owner of a "country place," and the farmer who aims to give an air of refinement and hominess to his residence, without belittling utility and economy. As beginners are often bewildered by descriptions of varieties in nurserymen's catalogs, as they may know little as to the kind of nursery stock to order, and are frequently at sea as to how to make a selection, especially if they read literature based upon commercial standards, I have rather fully discussed the main points to consider in choosing varieties and buying plants for the home plantation. The primary aim should be for high quality, for as Downing points out, "He who owns a rood of proper land in this country, and, in the face of all the pomonal riches of the day, raises only Crabs and Choke-Pears, deserves to lose the respect of all sensible men."
