Book excerpt: Excerpt from Small Fruits: Their Propagation and Cultivation, Including the Grape I have been induced to present in the following pages practical directions for the propagation and cultivation of small fruits, party because a few friends, to whose judgment I have been accustomed to defer, advised it; party to answer the numerous questions that are being constantly addressed to me orally and by letter; and partly because I hoped thereby to encourage the more general dissemination and use of fruits. There are many merchants, mechanics, professional men, and men of leisure, owners of small tracts of land in the country or suburban villages, who are anxious to learn something of the best varieties, and the different methods of growing them in the private garden. It has been my aim to furnish a hand-book containing just the kind of information required by this class, and also for more extensive cultivators in the field. No attempt has been made to dress the subject in fine language and well rounded periods, or to do more than to give the best practical directions in the most compact form, thus bringing the work within the means of all who may wish to cultivate fruits for their own tables with their own hands. Whoever wishes to grow fruits for the market will not fail to consult the works of such men as Downing, Barry, Fuller, and Roe, each of which should have a place in the library of every one making any pretensions to horticultural knowledge. Some of the more elaborate works, however, embrace matter of little or no interest to the novice, while others are too expensive for general circulation. This brief treatise will be found to contain all that is essential to success at trifling cost, but is not intended to supersede the labor of others.
