Two Volumes on Fruit Growing in Arid and Irrigated Regions

This vintage book is a complete guide to growing fruit in arid locations, being an account of approved fruit-growing practices in the inter-mountain country of the western United States. Profusely illustrated and full of interest and invaluable information, this volume will appeal to modern American fruit growers, and would make for a great addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: ¿History and Development of the Fruit Industry¿, ¿Daniel Webster¿s Speech¿, ¿Coloradös Horticultural History¿, ¿Location, Exposure, Soils, and Windbreaks¿, ¿Altitude and Fruit-Growing¿, ¿Eastern Slope Fruit Belt¿, ¿Canon Breezes and Frost¿, ¿Orchard Soils¿, ¿Cement Soils¿, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on growing fruit.
