Book Overview

This vintage book contains a detailed treatise on harvesting broom-corn and making brooms on a small or large scale, written and compiled by the editors of "The American Agriculturalist". "Broom-Corn And Brooms" contains all the information needed to make a range of old-style brooms, and will appeal to both those interested in making brooms and collectors of vintage literature of this ilk. Contents include: "Cultivation", "Harvesting", "Preparing for Market", "Growing On The Large Scale", "Making Brooms", "Another Method", and "Making Brooms by Machinery". Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on homesteading.
