Excerpt from The Handy Book on Pruning, Grafting and Budding The continued appreciation of the modest effort to promote a better and wider knowledge of Pruning, etc., is most encouraging; and in presenting to the public the Fifth Edition - which has been revised and enlarged - it is hoped that it may serve as a text book, be received with undiminished favour, and continue to give unmeasured pleasure and satisfaction.
