Apple and Pear as Vintage Fruits

This vintage book contains a detailed treatise on setting up and managing an orchard, with information on growing apples and pears, harvesting the fruit, producing for commercial gain, fertilisation, and much more. Including a wealth of useful information and handy tips, this is a volume that will be of considerable utility to the modern farmer, and one that would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "e;The Orchard"e;, "e;Orchard Trees"e;, "e;Fruit Management"e;, "e;Fermentation"e;, "e;The Orchard in its Commercial Aspect"e;, "e;Renovation of the Orchards"e;, "e;Orchard Prospects"e;, "e;Report on the most Esteemed Varieties of Cider Apples, with their Sections"e;, "e;List of the most Esteemed Varieties of Perry Pears, with their Sections"e;, et cetera. Many old works such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on making cider. First published in 1886.
