Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This collected set of proceedings from the early years of the American Silk and Fruit Culturist is an insight into the development of sericulture and commercial fruit production in the United States. The texts published between 1880 to 1884 provide a historical perspective on the major topics of concern for fruit and silk producers in this period: namely, the need for greater and cheaper production yields and better distribution of goods to market. The work also examines the social and economic aspects of this burgeoning industry and discusses how these factors interconnect with production and distribution methods. The book traces the development of American sericulture from its inception to the late nineteenth century, with a focus on the role of women in establishing the industry. The author calls attention to the fact that silk production was a cottage industry well-suited to women, and that the commercial success of American silk is largely due to their efforts. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
