Books with title Apple Tree! Apple Tree!

The wind is snapping in the bamboos, knocking together the resonant canes and weaving the myriad flexile wreaths above them. The palm heads rustle with a brisk crinkling music. Great ferns stand in the edge of the forest, and giant arums cling their arms about the trunks of trees and rear their dim jacks-in-the-pulpit far in the branches; and in the greater distance I know that green parrots are flying in twos from tree to tree. The plant forms are strange and various, making mosaic of contrasting range of leaf-size and leaf-shape, palm and grass and fern, epiphyte and liana and clumpy mistletoe, of grace and clumsiness and even misproportion, a tall thick landscape all mingled into a symmetry of disorder that charms the attention and fascinates the eye. It is a soft and delicious air wherein I sit. A torrid drowse Is in the receding landscape. The people move leisurely, as befits the world where there is no preparation for frost and no urgent need of laborious apparel. There are tardy bullock-carts, unconscious donkeys, and men pushing vehicles. There are odd products and unaccustomed cakes and cookies on little stands by the roadside, where the turbaned vendor sits on the ground unconcernedly.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.

Liberty Hyde Bailey (1858-1954) was a successful American botanist, horticulturist, author and co-founder of the American Society for Horticultural Science. He is considered to be the father of rural sociology and rural journalism. Born in Michigan, he was raised on a farm, educated and taught at the Michigan Agricultural College and became Professor of Horticulture at Cornell University where he later became Dean and Director. He wrote scores of books, including scientific works, efforts to explain botany to laypeople, and a collection of poetry. He received numerous medals from national and foreign societies and was a member of domestic and foreign scientific, botanical, and horticultural societies. He was voted one of the three outstanding living horticulturists several years prior to his death. Amongst his works are The Horticulturists Rule Book (1890), Principles of Agriculture (1898), The Manual of Gardening (1910), The Apple-Tree (1922) and The Gardener's Handbook (1934).
