Excerpt from The Orchard and Fruit Garden: Their Culture and Produce
IN the treatment of our fruit trees, sins of omission are more general than sins of commission. Whereas many, in the present advanced state of Horticulture, select with precision, plant with care, prune with skill, manure sufficiently, and accommodate the soil to the develop ment and improvement of the fruit, there are yet also many others who seem to think a tree a tree, and one about as good as another, make a hole in which to bury the root, together with all reasonable hope of success, and leave the rest to nature and to chance. This negli gent gardening, although still too prevalent, is much less so than formerly. Excellent treatises and well conducted periodicals now aid the beginner with advice and instruction, and offer a theatre for the discussion of all moot points. These valuable works are, however, not so universally within the reach of all fruit growers and lovers of a garden as to render a cheap work on the management of fruit trees superfluous.
