The Fundamentals of Fruit Production by Gardner VR, Bradford FC, Henry Daggett Hooker JR
Book Summary:

The Fundamentals of Fruit Production attempts to focus attention on the trees growth and its steadily increasing requirements and on the conditions that make it profitable as a producer of fruit. The common orchard practices are included, they are important as they help vegetative growth and especially fruit production. Fundamentally the plants growth and functioning depend on the nature of the environment and the adjustment there to and not directly o cultural practices. Which only modify the relation of the plant to the environmental complex.
