This vintage book is a complete guide to training fruit trees, with a special focus on codon training. Profusely illustrated and written by an expert on the subject, “Cordon Training Of Fruit Trees, Diagonal Vertical, Spiral, Horizontal” will be of considerable utility to those occupied in fruit tree training, and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of horticultural literature. Contents include: “General Principles of Fruit Culture”, “Seasons for Planting and Pruning”, “Defects of some Methods of Fruit Culture”, “Cordon Training; Its Advantages and Uses”, “Cordon Training in Peach Trees; The Diagonal Cordon”, “Spiral Cordons”, “Vertical Cordons”, “Horizontal Codons”, “Cordon Training in Apricot Trees”, “Cordon Training in Plum and Cherry Trees”, “Cordon Training in Pear Trees”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on growing fruit.
