W ELL-RIPENED sound fruit is healthful. It is also
a valuable food. It should form a part of every
meal, fresh when possible, or dried, canned, or other-
wise preserved.
Home-grown fruit is desirable
Because it reaches the family fresh and in the best
possible condition.
Because the family has fruit of which it would often
be deprived if it had to be purchased.
Because, if the proper varieties are selected, a con-
tinuous supply of fruit of superior quality may be
secured, regardless of market prices.
Because any surplus may be canned, evaporated, or
otherwise conserved for use when fruit is not available.
Because the care of the home fruit garden provides
for spare-time congenial occupation, which is in reality
recreation for those who enjoy seeing things grow.
This bulletin aims to furnish, in concise form, infor-
mation that will be of practical help to the beginner in
fruit growing.
It deals with the widely grown temperate-climate
fruits, such as the apple, pear, peach, plum, cherry,
grape, and berries. Lists of desirable varieties of these
fruits are given for the different parts of the country.
Because of the number of fruits considered and the
territory covered, cultural directions are necessarily
brief, but they cover the most important general points.Washington. D. C.
