Explore the history and methods of protecting fruit from pests.

The book compiles life-history data, seasonal habits, and practical control ideas gleaned from field trials. It includes reports on experiments with poison sprays, leaf-roller control, and early Bordeaux mixtures, all aimed at improving fruit quality and yields during the early 20th century.
