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,

fruit crop will save hundreds of dollars in doctors’ bills. This we 
know from our own experience. Heavily illustrated with teaching
