[Gutenberg 37968] • The Nut Culturist / A Treatise on Propogation, Planting, and Cultivation of Nut Bearing Trees and Shrubs Adapted to the Climate of the United States

From the Preface, 1896 edition:

Believing that the time is opportune for making an effort to

cultivate all kinds of edible and otherwise useful nut-bearing trees

and shrubs adapted to the soil and climate of the United States,

thereby inaugurating a great, permanent and far-reaching industry,

the following pages have been penned, and with the hope of

encouraging and aiding the farmer to increase his income and

enjoyments, without, to any appreciable extent, adding to his

expenses or labors. With this idea in mind, I have not advised the

general planting of nut orchards on land adapted to the production

of grain and other indispensable farm crops, but mainly as roadside

trees and where desired for shade, shelter and ornament, being

confident that when all such positions are occupied with choice

nut-bearing trees, to the exclusion of those yielding nothing of

intrinsic value, there will have been added many millions of dollars

to the wealth of the country, as well as a vast store of edible and

delicious food.
