The Tree Doctor, the Care of Trees and Plants Profusely: Illustrated With Photographs (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Tree Doctor, the Care of Trees and Plants Profusely: Illustrated With PhotographsThe original Tree Doctor, notwithstanding its crude form, started a revolution in tree culture in the United States and Canada. Since the first edition has been exhausted, urgent calls have come for a second. In answer to these demands. I have revised the work and now issue it with the following improvements:First - 213 photographs, all of the finest quality.Second - Photographs generally explained by notes contiguous to them.Third - Tree surgery described and illustrated in few and simple words.Fourth - "Pear Blight" and other "Blights" not a disease, but the result of injuries, the source of disease.Fifth - Cause of "Peach Yellows" - The far-removal of trees from their native environments.Sixth - Grape culture made simple.Seventh - A splendid collection of flower photographs. The way to grow them.Eighth - Special illustrations of vines. How to procure them.Ninth - Native forests, their destruction, the significance, remedies.Tenth - Relation between trees, birds and insects.Eleventh - Numerous photographs illustrating "stiff" and "free" landscaping.Twelfth - Twenty formulas for the destruction of insects.This work is sent forth with a fervent prayer for Heaven's blessing on it, and an appeal to all to help, in planting and caring for trees in the country that was once pre-eminently "The Land of Forests."About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
