This antiquarian volume contains a concise yet comprehensive guide to the various enemies of the orchard, with information on how to prevent and eradicate them. Written in clear, plain language and profusely illustrated, this informative guide will be of considerable utility to the orchard-owner or agriculturalist, and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Although old, much of the information contained herein is still very much relevant today, making this both a great addition to collections of antiquarian literature of this ilk and a useful, practical handbook. Many antiquarian books such as this are increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this text now in an affordable, modern edition - complete with a specially commissioned new introduction.
