| Summary | "The Apple" by William H. Barnes and the Kansas State Horticultural Society is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work serves as a comprehensive guide covering various aspects of apple cultivation, including definitions, cultivation methods, commercial importance, and various apple varieties. The book is likely a resource for farmers and horticulturists seeking to enhance their understanding of apple-growing practices and market opportunities. At the start of the publication, it discusses the apple's definition and origin, elaborating on its classification as a fleshy pome produced from the apple tree, specifically "Pyrus malus". The opening portion also provides information on the legislative framework pertaining to orchardists in Kansas, addressing issues such as destruction of trees and deception in the sale of plants. Furthermore, it introduces content related to the chemistry of apple cultivation, highlighting the importance of soil and atmospheric conditions in nurturing apple trees and the chemical composition affecting their growth and quality. This sets the foundation for further exploration of apple varieties and their commercial viability, which appears to be a central focus of the publication.
