The Fig: Its History, Culture and Curing: With Descriptions of the Known Varieties of Figs (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781985075153)

This special re-print edition of the USDA's book "The Fig: Its History, Culture and Curing" is a complete guide to fig cultivation and fig varieties. Written in 1901, this classic work is a treasury of information on figs and growing them. Chapters include An Introduction to Figs and Fig Culture, Fig Culture in Foreign Countries, Fig Culture in California, Caprification of the Fig, Climatic Conditions, Propogation of the Fig, Planting a Fig Orchard, Pruning Fig Trees, Diseases and Insect Enemies of the Fig, Drying and Curing Figs, Varieties of Figs and much more. In our opinion, this is the most authorative book available on the subject of fig culture. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
