Excerpt from The Apples of New York, Vol. 1In addition to the description of the variety, there has been given in many cases some estimate of its known or probable value in this state for either amateur or commercial purposes and the conditions which appear to be best adapted for its successful cultivation are sometimes indicated. In order to make the report more complete and thus add to its value as a book of reference many varieties of little importance, or of only local value, are herein described. Usually in such cases but brief comment is given. More extended notice is commonly given to the more important varieties, and many of them are illustrated either by half-tone or colored photo - engravings made directly from the fruit itself instead of from drawings or paintings. In fact, the illustrations form a unique feature of the work because they have all been mad-e from photographs, thus adding greatly to the fidelity and value of the plates. With but few exceptions the photographing has been done under the personal supervision of the author.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
