Home Fruit Grower 



A professional who has had a wide experience In many States 

 of the Union, M. G. Kains by name, whose entire life has been 

 spent in the culture of fruits, and who recently has achieved the 

 height of his ambition, namely, the possession of a fruit farm 

 of his very own, is the author. Such a man, one can well under- 

 stand, being full of the subject himself, enthusiastic in the highest 

 degree, and yet thoroughly practical, could not help but write a 

 book for the amateur that would be clear, simple, practical and 

 comprehensive. Its contents give the best modern methods of 

 securing choice fruits, both small and standard, and additionally, 

 covers Tillage, Spraying, Thinning, Fertilizing, Cover Cropping, 

 Low Heading, Rational Pruning, and every necessary operation 

 conducive to the production of an abundance of the best fruit. 

 Everyone who owns a garden aspires to grow some fruit; particu- 

 larly where there is a family of young children growing up the 

 fruit crop will save hundreds of dollars in doctors' bills. This we 

 know from our own experience. Heavily illustrated with teaching 

 pictures. Four color cover.
