Book excerpt: Excerpt from Descriptive Catalogue of Fruit and Ornamental Trees, Vines, Shrubs, Roses Etc., Cultivated and for Sale at the Syracuse Nurseries, Syracuse, N. Y Our soil is a strong clay loam with a liberal mixture of organic and vegetable matter, which - with the system of drainage we have adopt ed - is known to be especially adapted to the growth of healthy, vigor ous trees and a bountiful supply of fibrous roots. To this fact we wish to call the especial attention of our customers - a matter of the first importance but which is generally overlooked. In the Fruit Department we have made the raising of apple, pear and plum trees an object of special attention, the character of the soil in this section being particularly well adapted for growing them in high perfection. We have not, however, neglected other kinds of fruit trees as our complete assortment will show. We would not recommend our customers to plant largely of new, unapproved varieties, but to adhere to those of known worth, adding the newer sorts as they are proven, by thorough tests, to be worthy of cultivation. Although for amateurs, and all those wishing to plant largely of kinds, we endeavor to keep a supply. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
