Synopsis

Excerpt from Handy Book of Horticulture: An Introduction to the Theory and Practice of Gardening

The reader will observe that in this book no attempt has been made to write a scientific treatise on gardening; it is merely intended as an introduction which when read, and in some measure carried out in practice, may help to prepare the way for much better books.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Mr W. Robinson sE nglish Flower Garden, now in its Seventh Edition, toM iss JekylP scharming Home and Garden. The bookstalls, too, are well furnished every week with capital journals of horticulture. But the books on the one hand are, as a rule, too large and too advanced for amateurs and gardeners on a small scale for the class I mean of fairly intelligent young men who are placed in sole charge of small gardens, who have little natural aptitude for gardening and no training, and who look in vain to their employers for teaching or suggestions of any kind; and on the other hand, the gardening newspapers are, I find, too fragmentary to be of real help to them.
