Pictoral Practical Fruit Growing

While some books, past and present, provide copious instructions and extensive details on all aspects of fruit culture, Wright's text strives to "make every point as clear as possible in the fewest words." And he remains true to this goal. In just over 145 pages, the author conveys the most cogent advice for a majority of fruits, such as apples, pears, stone fruits, berries, figs, grapes, melons, nuts, and potted fruits. You learn how to best utilize the smallest space, prune branches and roots, graft your own stocks, maintain soil fertility, and manage common pest and insect problems. Instead of long discussions, you will find succinct illustrations and photographs that aptly convey "a picture is worth a thousand words."
