Publisher's Synopsis

Sketch of the Evolution of Our Native Fruits is a book written by Liberty H. Bailey that explores the history and evolution of fruits native to North America. The book delves into the origins of fruits such as the apple, peach, strawberry, and grape, and traces their development from their wild ancestors to the cultivated varieties that are commonly consumed today. Bailey also discusses the role of early American settlers and horticulturists in selecting and breeding these fruits, as well as the cultural significance of fruits in American society. The book is a fascinating exploration of the natural and cultural history of some of North America's most beloved fruits.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
