Description

This vintage book is a complete guide to strawberry culture, including information on history, sexuality, forcing, growing from seed, hybridising, and many other related aspects. A fantastically detailed and timeless volume, "The Illustrated Strawberry Culturist" is highly recommended for anyone with an interest in producing strawberries, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: "Fragaria Vesca", "Fragaria Californica", "Fragaria Virginiana", "Illenoensis", "Fragaria Indica", "Fragaria Elatior", "Structure of the Plants", "Propagation", "Propagation by Runners", "Pot Plants", "Propagation by Division", "Soil and its Preparation", "Manures", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on growing fruit.
