Excerpt from The Principles and Practice of Pruning
In the preparation of this volume I have found the Experiment Station Record, published by the United States Department of Agriculture, of immeasurable help in searching for literature on pruning by means of its abstracts and voluminous indexes. From it occasional brief passages, mainly concerning foreign investigations, have been copied, with credit to the original sources of information instead of to the Record itself.
