| Summary | "The Book of Pears and Plums; With Chapters on Cherries and Mulberries" by Rev. E. Bartrum, D.D., F.R.H.S. is a comprehensive horticultural guide written in the early 20th century. This publication provides detailed insights into the cultivation, history, and varieties of pears, plums, cherries, and mulberries, aiming to educate both amateur gardeners and professional horticulturists about these fruits. At the start of the book, the author expresses his passion for pears, comparing a well-tended pear tree to a faithful friend that rewards care with bountiful fruit. Bartrum discusses the origins and historical significance of pears, referencing ancient texts and horticulture practices in Europe, particularly the contributions of the Romans. He underscores the importance of soil, aspect, and climate in the successful cultivation of pears, establishing a foundation for more specific gardening advice that follows in the subsequent chapters. The opening sets an engaging tone for the detailed exploration of each fruit mentioned, filled with practical teachings and historical anecdotes. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
