Excerpt from Systematic Pomology: Treating of the Description, Nomenclature, and Classification of Fruits Yet the [three branches are easily separated. It is no uncommon thing to find a man who knows at a glance all the leading varieties Of apples or plums, with their correct names, and who is yet not capable Of growing any of the varieties successfully. That man would be a good systematic pomologist, but a poor prac tical one. The next man may be able to grow the finest grades of fruit, and yet be unable to market it at a profit. Such a man would be strong on practical pomology, but weak on the commercial side. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from d104-Book of Pomology The purpose of this book is to present the experimental and investigational bases of fruit-growing on the physiological side, omitting consideration Of the systematic botany and taxonomy as well as of pathology. Pomology has here tofore been approached mostly from the orchard-practice side, born of the experience of cultivators. Gradually the underlying physiological and chemical reasons for the suc cess of these practices are being uncovered. It is on these rational bases that college teaching must henceforth largely rest.

Excerpt from American Horticultural Manual, Vol. 2 The word Pomology is practically synonymous with fruit-growing in its broad sense as given in Part I. But Systematic Pomology, as now used, is confined to the classification and description of fruits, and by usage it also includes the nuts. In the past hundreds of varieties have been described which are not at this time known to our nursery lists or to those recommended by the widely distributed State and District Horticultural Societies. Charles Downing said in 1869: "If it were only necessary for me to present for the acceptance of my readers a choice garland of fruits comprising the few sorts that I esteem of the most priceless value, the space and time occupied would be very brief." In our day the District, State, and National Horticultural Societies, together with growers and propagators, have been sifting the old lists and now present for about every section and horticultural district "the few sorts of most priceless value." Hence the plan of this work is to include only the varieties recommended at this time by societies and growers, including those of special value locally - so far as known - and those on the trial lists of the horticulturists of the Northwest and of the northern limits of successful fruit-growing. For the benefit of amateurs and beginners the relative hardiness of varieties will be given with their adaptation - so far as known - to given soils, exposures, and altitudes. The names of fruits will be made to conform mainly to the code of the American Horticultural Society, but the popular name and the synonyms will follow.

Systematic pomology, or the branch of pomology dealing with our knowledge of the fruits themselves, is explored in Frank Waugh's 1903 book, as well as the trees, bushes, or vines on which they grow. He treats three distinct subjects: description, nomenclature, and classification.
