Synopsis

Excerpt from Beautiful Flowers and How to Grow Them

There is a charm about a beautiful Rose garden which appeals irresistibly to every lover of ?owers. It is not necessary to win a prize at a Rose show to enjoy Roses when they are used in free, informal, natural ways. There is a wide gulf between exhibiting and gardening. The exhibitor of Roses does not keep beautiful garden effects constantly before him, and plant and prune in such a way as to form pleasing garden pictures; he aims at producing a limited number of ?owers of a particular type. For this reason people who love Roses must not allow themselves to be unduly in?uenced by What they see and hear at shows. They must learn about beautiful garden Roses - what they are, and how to manage them in order to get lovely garden scenes, together with abundance of ?owers for bowls and vases.

There should be nothing stiff, stilted, and formal about Roses, whether in the growing of them, the utilisation of them, or the writing about them. We should look upon them as cheerful, delightful, affectionate companions. To put the trees in stiff rows, grow them on a level, and prune them back to mere stumps, like a blackthorn hedge, is to rob them of all chance of showing Whether they possess natural beauty. And to write of Roses as though they were mere automata, devoid of all sentiment, of all power of appeal to our finest feelings, is to put them on the same plane as mangold wurzels.

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.
