THE PRINCIPLES OF FRUIT-GROWING; 



By PROFESSOR L. H. BAILEY. 520 pages, 114 illustrations. $1.25 



This book is designed to treat all those underlying matters of 

 fruit-growing which are common to most or all of the various 

 fruits. The author in preparing a monograph upon the Apple, 

 concluded that it would serve the purpose of his readers better 

 if all the essentials of fruit-growing were placed in a separate and 

 initial volume. He has, therefore, delayed the preparation of the 

 Apple book for the present. 



The Principles of Fruit-Growing" is a unique book, and brings 

 the very best science of the day to join hands with the best prac- 

 tice. It includes illustrations of every important operation, and 

 may be taken as a consensus of the opinions and methods of the 

 most successful growers. The contents are as follows : Intro- 

 ductory Discussion, comprising an inventory and classification of 

 fruits, the fruit zones, the outlook for fruit-growing ; the Location 

 and Its Climate, with a full discussion of frosts ; the Tilling of 

 Fruit Lands ; the Fertilizing of Fruit Lands ; the Planting of 

 Orchards ; Secondary Care of Orchards ; Diseases, Insects and
