This special edition of 'Apple Growing' was written by the Massachusetts State Board of Agriculture, and first published in 1912, making it over a century old. It is also known as 'Bulletin Number 2.' This old book discusses topics like The Influence of Soil Variations on Crop Production, Western Methods in New England Orcharding, Renovating Old Orchards, The Planting of a Commercial Orchard in Massachusetts, and more. The book has a definite emphasis on East Coast culture, but some of the solid, practical information therein is relevant anywhere. A wonderful old book for anybody interested in agricultural or horticultural history, and an essential read for those interested in the establishing their own Apple Orchard.
