F. A. Waugh

This antiquarian book contains a complete guide to dwarf fruit trees, with information on their propagation, pruning, and general management. Written in clear, plain language and full of invaluable information and helpful tips, this book is ideal for gardeners and orchard owners, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: “General Considerations”, “Advantages and Disadvantages”, “Propagation”, “Pruning Dwarf Fruit Trees”, “Special Forms for Trained Trees”, “General Management”, “Dwarf Apples”, “Dwarf Pears”, Dwarf Peaches”, “Dwarf Plums”, “Bush Fruits”, etcetera. Frank Albert Waugh (1869 - 1943), was an American landscape architect whose career focused upon recreational uses of national forests, the production of a highly natural style of landscape design, and the implementation of ecological principles. Many vintage texts such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now, in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
