Abstract
NOT everyone will agree with the suggestion the author's preface that “the value of this book, if any, is due to the attempt that has been made to include the latest results of scientific research work”. Such results have already been included in the various leaflets and reports published by the Ministry of Agriculture and by the research institutions, and must surely be familiar to all serious students of fruit growing. For these the value of the book will lie in the chapters dealing with grass orchard management. This is a field which has not yet been thoroughly explored by the research workers, and the present-day planter must therefore depend for guidance upon empirical knowledge.
The English Grass Orchard, and the Principles of Fruit Growing: an Account of the Cultivation of Cherries, Apples, and Plums on the Grass Orchard Principle.
By A. H. Hoare. Pp. 227. (London: Ernest Benn, Ltd., 1928.) 32s. 6d. net.
