Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biggle Orchard Book: Fruit and Orchard Gleanings From Bough to Basket The writing of this little book has surely been a labor of love. Harriet and I love trees. They are our pets, and we think as much of them as we do of the animals and birds on the farm. It had sometimes occurred to me that a need existed in this country for a simple, practical, inexpensive, boiled-down yet complete, printed talk on the subject of tree fruits, - a talk that would help the amateur as well as the more experienced orchardist. My publishers encouraged the idea, saying that requests for such a treatise had often been received at their office during the past few years. Well - to make a long story short - this book is largely the result of their encouragement and kindness; without such helps I very much doubt whether the idea ever would have materialized into clear type. Harriet has helped me, too - bless her heart. So have Tim and Farmer Vincent. And so have the artists, designers, engravers and photographers who are connected with the Wilmer Atkinson Co.
