Synopsis

"The Practical Flower Garden" is a classic hardening handbook written by Helena Rutherfurd Ely. It contains a wealth of information and simple instructions on gardening, covering everything from preparatory details and equipment, to planting and propagating a range of common and uncommon garden plants. Helena Rutherfurd Ely was an American author and gardener who co-founded the Garden Club of America, responsible for publishing three very influential books that moving away from Victorian style gardens in favour of more informal gardening. Other notale works by this author include: "A Woman's Hardy Garden" (1903) and "Another Hardy Garden Book" (1905). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of gardening.

A propos du livre

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.
