Artificial Fruiting of Trees and Related Plant Practices
A historical note outlines three methods to increase fruiting: supplying extra nutrients and cultivation to boost fruit buds, inducing self-reproduction via injury to trigger seed and fruit development, and diverting stored sap from forming new wood to produce fruit buds. It also mentions methods like binding cords, rolling, disbarking, and cautions on timing to avoid harming the tree. A separate veterinary section describes bovine anthrax, its symptoms, noncontagious nature, and early treatment and prevention measures.
