THE first edition of this book appeared in 1936 ; it is a testament to the distinguished authors that so little change has had to be made in this new edition. A few deletions of material now out of date, a new paragraph here and there to amplify some point in the light of new knowledge, more especially in the section dealing with cultivation and manuring, and a more extensive revision of the sections on the pests and diseases of individual fruits by Messrs. Fox Wilson and Green of the Royal Horticultural Society's laboratories, are all that have been found necessary. Hardy Fruit Growing Sir Frederick Keeble A. N. Rawes. Second edition.
