About This Book

A comprehensive horticultural manual that surveys the peach’s history, uses, and botanical features, then examines regional production and commercial cultivation in New York with relevant statistics. It provides guidance on soils, sites, and cultural practices, treats breeding principles including the identification of unit-characters, and offers synonymy, bibliography, and economic status. The core of the work consists of detailed varietal descriptions, with color plates and briefer notices of minor or obsolete sorts, intended to help growers, breeders, and students of ecology by comparing varieties, illustrating variation and heredity, and giving practical advice on selection, planting, and orchard management.
