Beginners Guide to Fruit Growing A Simple Statement of the Elementary Practices of Propagation, Planting, Cul- ture, Fertilization, Pruning, Spraying, etc. By F. A. WAUGH Amply Illustrated - PREFACE THIS little book is written for the one who does not know. The man who has already arrived may think it hardly worth while, but I ask him to remember that the simplest questions are the ones oftenest asked, and that the beginners are the ones who oftenest need help. I trust no one will be- grudge the excellent company of novices even so small a help as that which is here most humbly offered by their friend and well wisher, F. A.
