About this Item
Description:
"Vast tracts of land, once orange groves as far as the eye could see and beyond, are now covered with houses, malls, parking lots, and roads in Los Angeles, San Gabriel, and the Santa Anita Ranch area. But back in the 1880s, citrus was the dominant crop in Southern California, and this important 'treatise' by Byron Martin Lelong (1856-1901), Secretary of the California Board of Horticulture, was eagerly received by growers. Lelong describes the best times for picking, curing, packing, wrapping, and shipping of citrus, as well as preparation of soil, budding, grafting, fertilization, and pruning of trees [.] For such a technical manual, a few tempting recipes are unexpectedly included - lemon biscuit, lemon pie, lemon drops, and citron cake" (Gordon Van De Water, Zamorano Select 65). Octavo: 96 p. with a color frontispiece and textual illustrations. Original blue cloth binding, with gilt titles. Occasional ink stamp corrections to the text, presumably made by the publisher. The ink stamp of the State Commission of Horticulture in Sacramento appears on the front flyleaf, with the ink stamp of entomologist Edward Oliver Essig to the front endpaper. Mild toning along the extremities of the boards; else very good or better. Seller Inventory # 76980

A Treatise on Citrus Culture in California (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book of citrus growing from the late 19th century is an insightful guide to horticultural practices for oranges, lemons, and other citrus fruits. From the seed to the fruit, this guidebook does not shy away from common problems with growing citrus such as diseases and pests, and offers solutions from an era before the widespread use of modern pesticides. Focused on the cultivation of citrus varieties successful in California, the author also discusses varieties grown elsewhere, including other parts of the United States and foreign countries, and their viability in the California climate. Varieties are rated by the author as either highly recommended or not recommended for planting in California. Blending practical growing advice with the author's informed opinions on preferred varieties, this book is an important historical resource that offers a fascinating glimpse into the development of citrus cultivation specific to California, and which still informs modern citrus growers today.
