Excerpt from Farm Horticulture: Prepared Especially for Those Interested in Either Home or Commercial Horticulture The object of the book is to give a brief discussion and to supply information on some of the important subjects in horticulture. It is hoped it will be a guide to every farmer and every city man who practises any horticulture about the home. It is thought that teachers of agriculture and elementary horticulture will find it suitable as a text to cover the general field, and to give some information about those practices which many people desire and which cannot be found in any single text. Since the work treats the subject from the standpoint of production of horticultural products as well as improve ments for the home, it should prove of value to anyone interested in this subject.
