Excerpt from Modern Orchard Practices
Horticultural science is to-day making rapid strides in the solution of prob lems upon which light has long been wanting. Scientific research is unearthing a wealth of material, much of which offers practical solutions or, at least, sug gestions for some of the difficulties in profitable orchard management. Pruning recommendations to-day are radically different from those of a few years ago, and the new recommendations are based on experimental results. The much discussed fertilizer problem is now being studied from a plant physiological and biochemical standpoint, which, together with external observations, has enabled us to see this problem in an entirely new light, and although definite rules cannot, and perhaps never will, be made, on account of differences of location and types of soils, many helpful and suggestive recommendations have been the outcome.
