Strawberry Growing - Paperback

by Roger Chambers (Introduction by), Stevenson Whitcomb Fletcher (Author)

This special re-print edition of Fletcher's book "Strawberry Growing" is a guide to the strawberry. Written in 1917, this classic text provides insight into the history, cultivation, breeding and harvest of the strawberry. Topics include Location, Sites and Soils, Planting, Rotations, Manuring and Fertilizing, Tillage and Irrigation, Training the Plants, Mulching, Pollination, Picking and Packing, Marketing, Cost of Production, Yields and Profits, Propagation and Renewal, and much more. In our opinion, this is the most authoriative text available on growing strawberries. Over 375 pages of practical information on the subject of strawberry cultivation. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
