There is a warning when considering information that is "old" - there is always a chance it is good info, but also a chance that it is an unproven theory or supposition based upon limited experience. A good example is that many of the older seed catalogs claim "our seed is taken from the first set or crown fruit melon, or tomato, or..." - this is prior to the advance on single plant, rather than single fruit selections.
