Seite 3 - Four acres was the' allotted space of ground, Fenced with a green enclosure all around : Tall .thriving trees confess'd the fruitful mould ; The reddening apple ripens here to gold : Here the blue fig with luscious juice o'erflows, With deeper red the full pomegranate glows, The branch here bends beneath the weighty pear, And verdant olives flourish round the year.
Seite 267 - Fruit large, roundish, about two inches and a quarter in diameter each way, on a standard tree ; rather larger on one side of the suture than the other. Skin orange in the shade, but deep orange or brownish red in the sun, marked with numerous dark specks and dots. Flesh quite firm, bright orange, parting free from the stone, quite juicy, with a rich and luscious flavour.
Seite 566 - Heat the solution of soap and add it boiling hot to the kerosene. Churn the mixture by means of a force-pump and spray-nozzle for five or ten minutes. The emulsion, if perfect, forms a cream, which thickens on cooling, and should adhere without oiliness to the surface of glass. Dilute, before using, one part of the emulsion with nine parts of cold water. The above formula gives...
Seite 533 - ... extracted, which prevents a perfect absorption of the sugar. After the fruit has been thus scalded and allowed to cool, it can again be assorted as to softness. The next step is the syrup, which is made of white sugar and water. The softer the fruit the heavier the syrup required. Ordinarily about 70°, Balling's saccharometer, is about the proper weight for the syrup. The fruit is then placed in earthen pans, and covered with the syrup, where it is left to remain about a week. The sugar enters...
Seite 68 - Among the arid, brush-covered hills south of San Diego, we found little valleys converted by a single spring into crowded gardens, where pears, peaches, quinces, pomegranates, grapes, olives, and other fruits grew luxuriantly together, the little stream acting upon them like a principle of life.
Seite 566 - Next place in a cask or box forty pounds of good lime and pour upon it enough soft hot water to thoroughly slacken the lime and keep it in a liquid form. After the lime is thoroughly slacked, add fifteen pounds of common stock salt while the material is hot. When the salt is well dissolved mix the two lots together, with sufficient water to make sixty gallons of spraying material, which will then be a thin whitewash. The material should be strained after being thoroughly mixed—a good piece of burlap...
Seite 533 - The theory is to extract the juice from the fruit and replace it with sugar syrup which, upon hardening, preserves the fruit from decay and at the same time retains the natural shape of the fruit. All kinds of fruit are capable of being preserved under this process.
Seite 197 - per acre. The latter figure is, of course, liable to great variations and differences of opinion; but, by the aid of a little arithmetic, each one can calculate for himself the data suitable to his own case or views. The crop assumed in the case of oranges is...
Seite 524 - ... of an inch between each board. The platform should be about eight feet wide and forty feet long, or as long as two men can handle a canvas to cover the beds, which should be done every night the dew falls. The nuts should be stirred in these beds once or twice each day, and with favorable weather they will dry sufficiently in three days, and are ready for market. I have always dried my walnuts by the sun, and they have given good satisfaction, and for small orchards, I think it is the cheapest...
Seite 348 - ... practice. Large quantities have been grown from cuttings, as is the French practice, according to Baltet. Other propagators hold, with WH Pepper, of Petaluma, that plum cuttings form a mass of fibrous roots at the lower end of the cutting, and when transplanted fail to send out strong supporting roots. As for the durability of trees grown from cuttings, there can easily be found old, thrifty orchards planted with such trees, though it must be acknowledged a better root system would be expected...
