"Dwarf Fruit Trees: Their Propagation, Pruning, and General Management" by F. A. Waugh is an early 20th-century manual on how to grow and take care of dwarf fruit trees, mainly geared towards amateur and city gardeners. The book highlights how good these trees are, along with ways to care for and grow them in small areas. Specifically, it goes into how to make more trees, how to trim them correctly, and other care tips that home gardeners would find useful. It starts off by talking about dwarf fruit trees and why they're better than regular trees, especially if you live in a city or suburb. Waugh mentions that more people are starting to garden as a hobby, growing fruit for fun instead of to sell. The book explains the different kinds of dwarf trees and how to keep them small, teasing future discussions on how to grow them, trim them, and the different types that can grow well at home. The introduction gets the reader ready for a full study of dwarf fruit trees, promising useful tips for gardeners of all levels.
