Bøker utgitt av Becker Press

Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

This text contains a detailed course in productive plant husbandry. It includes information and exercises on pant propagation, plant breeding, soils, field crops, gardening, fruit growing, forestry, insects, plant diseases, and farm management. Although old, the information contained herein is timeless, and will be of considerable value to the novice agriculturalist or farmer. The chapters of this volume include: 'Plant Life', 'Flowers ¿ Seed Production', 'Principles of Breeding', 'Application of Principles to Farm Crops', 'Farm and Garden Seed', 'Propagation of Plants by Division', 'Soils and Their Uses', 'Water in Soils', 'Conservation and Improvement of Soils', 'Drainage and Irrigation', etcetera. We are proud to republish this vintage book, now complete with a new and specially commissioned introduction on farming.
