Success With Small Fruits

By Edward Payson Roe

Book Overview

""Success With Small Fruits"" by E. P. Roe is a comprehensive guide to growing and cultivating small fruits such as strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, currants, and gooseberries. The book provides detailed information on how to select the best varieties of each fruit, how to prepare and maintain the soil, and how to plant, prune, and care for the plants. It also includes tips on pest and disease control, harvesting, and storage. Written in a clear and concise style, this book is an essential resource for anyone interested in growing small fruits successfully.""As Mr. Durand well puts it, new varieties, to be of value, should produce berries that ""measure from four to eight inches in circumference, of good form, color and flavor; very large specimens are not expected to be perfect in form, yet those of medium size should always be. The calyx should never be imbedded in the flesh, which should be sufficiently firm to carry well, and withstand all changes of our variable climate. The texture should be fine, flesh rich, with a moderate amount of acid--no more than just sufficient to make it palatable with sugar as a table berry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
