Farm Horticulture — Hood ^Zi^^n 



That " Farm Horticulture " met the need for which it was created, is 

 shown by its popularity which has exhausted the first edition in a little over a 

 year. It is especially gratifying that this demand has come largely from agri- 

 cultural high schools and colleges, thus indicating the permanent worth of the 

 book and its establishment in the educational system of the country. 



Primarily an elementary text, the book is so arranged and developed as 

 to meet the needs both of the student and those practicing Horticulture. Many 

 teachers of Elementary Agriculture and Horticulture have found it suitable as 

 a text and it is hoped and believed that they will be even more pleased with 

 the revised edition. New material has been incorporated wherever it would 

 add to the value of the work or increase its utility. A few chapters did 

 not treat their subjects as fully as they merited but these have now been 

 enlarged so as to make them better serve their purpose. The subject matter 

 has also been rearranged to conform more closely to the usual method of 

 teaching Horticulture. 



To the farmer or the city suburban family interested in Horticulture, it 

 will be a guide to the successful growing of their plants. It gives information 

 on the most important facts and subjects in Horticulture, particularly relative 

 to those practices which many people desire but which heretofore could not be 

 found in any single text. The diagrams and plans for gardens of varying sizes 

 are most practical and helpful as are the chapters on The Seed, Cultivation and 

 Village, Budding and Grafting, Harvesting and Marketing (including Pack- 

 ing) , Pests and how to combat them, also the special chapters devoted to the 

 individual fruits and Beautifying the Home Grounds. The methods advanced 

 throughout the book are those which lead to practical success in this field.
