Apple and Pear as Vintage Fruits

This vintage book contains a detailed treatise on setting up and managing an orchard, with information on growing apples and pears, harvesting the fruit, producing for commercial gain, fertilisation, and much more. Including a wealth of useful information and handy tips, this is a volume that will be of considerable utility to the modern farmer, and one that would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: &quote;The Orchard&quote;, &quote;Orchard Trees&quote;, &quote;Fruit Management&quote;, &quote;Fermentation&quote;, &quote;The Orchard in its Commercial Aspect&quote;, &quote;Renovation of the Orchards&quote;, &quote;Orchard Prospects&quote;, &quote;Report on the most Esteemed Varieties of Cider Apples, with their Sections&quote;, &quote;List of the most Esteemed Varieties of Perry Pears, with their Sections&quote;, et cetera. Many old works such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on making cider. First published in 1886.
