MoreThe commercial interests have so continuously and completely held the horticultural stage in America during the last two decades that it has been impossible for amateur horticulture to get in a word edgewise. A ny public speaker or writer has had to talk about several acres at a time or he would not be listened to. He has been obliged to insist that his scheme would pay on a commercial scale before anyone would hear, much less consider, what he had to tell. But now a change is coming. Different conditions are already upon us. A thousand signs indicate the new era. With hundreds yes thousands of men and women now horticulture is an avocation, a pastime. They grow trees largely for the pleasure of it; and their gardens are built amidst surroundings which would make commercial pomology laugh at itself. And so I undertake to offer the first American fruit book in a quarter century which can boldly declare its independence of the professional element in fruit growing.
