A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

In view of the very appreciative reception which the public accorded to the first edition of this work and the urgent demand for its reappearance, it is deeply regretted by the writer that the present edition has been so long delayed. It seemed, however, unavoidable. The revision necessary to include later results of experience and observation and extension to fitly include the advancement of certain vegetables in commercial volume and importance and the methods of handling them, largely developed by local study and experiment, have required much attention. In fact, the revision of the work has required a repetition of the same effort which was invoked in its initial preparation, and for which the following claim was made in the preface to the First Edition :T here are very good reasons why the task of preparing such a book has been so long delayed. The subject is appalling in its intricacy. Conditions of soil and climate inC alifornia are varied to the last degree, and practice must vary with them. No matter how skilful and successful a man may be in his particular locality, his experience can only be a safe guide to those who happen to work under similar conditions. For this reason, though there have been admirable local writers on garden practice from the beginning, their writings, no matter how diligently collected and how well printed, would not constitute a suggestive treatise unless the enquirer should analyze the local conditions and practice and translate them into terms of wide applicability. To do this it is necessary that the principles underlying the successful practice should be discerned and the significance of conditions be interpreted. This task could only be discharged by one who has had opportunity for wide collection of data, and for extended personal observation as well, and one for whom labor would be continually lightened by enthusiast

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
