This vintage book is a complete guide to growing fruit on bushes, with information on raspberries, blackberries, dewberries, currants, gooseberries, and other shrub-like fruits. Illustrated and extensive, this volume constitutes a must-have handbook for anyone occupied in producing fruit from bushes, and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of gardening literature.
