Field Notes on Apple Culture

Bailey's introductory remarks in Field Notes in Apple Culture refer to the book as being suitable for the novice, yet the depth of his exploration of the topic will interest proficient apple producers and home gardeners of today. His treatise on selecting apple varieties increases the understanding of yesterday's apple specimens, such as 'Primate', 'Early Joe', 'Summer Rose', 'Jersey Sweet', and 'Mother'. The chapter "Cheap Fruit Trees" serves as a reminder of what to look for (and what not to do) when purchasing trees. Sections on pruning, grafting, apple tree longevity, harvesting, winter preparation, and pest control, along with an index, and black and white illustrations, makes this a complete and concise reference work.
