Description
Excerpt from Pear Culture: A Manual for the Propagation, Planting, Cultivation, and Management of the Pear Tree; With Descriptions and Illustrations of the Most Productive of the Finer Varieties, and Selections of Kinds Most Profitably Grown for Market
This was, the revolution in the culture and produc tion of everything which the generous earth yields to man''s cultivation; but more particularly manifested in the propagation and perfection of fruits.
Our fathers required the whole of their long lives to eat of the fruit of the tree they planted. But by the new arboriculture, the youth may pluck fruit from the tree he planted when a child.
In none of the fruits is this peaceful revolution so striking as in the culture of the Pear. From the long period of twenty or thirty years required for the fruit ing of the tree, we have deducted more than four fifths, and reduced the time to three or four.
