Description: This vintage volume contains a complete guide to fruit production, with information on propagation, planting, spacing, grafting, budding, harvesting, and all other related aspects. Extensive yet accessible, "Modern Fruit Production" constitutes a valuable resource for both beginners and that with more experience, and is not to be missed by the discerning collector.
