Synopsis

First published in 1909, this volume contains a classic guide to 'market gardening' with a particular focus on the French style of gardens. A market garden is the small-scale production of vegetables, fruits, and flowers for direct sale to consumers and restaurants. With step-by-step instructions and helpful illustrations, this volume is recommended for those with an interest growing produce for pleasure or profit. Contents include: "The Meaning of 'Intensive' Cultivation", "The History of Intensive Cultivation in France", "Work in a French Garden", "The Sit for a French Garden", "The Soil and its Treatment", "Water Supply", "Manures", "Making the Hot-Beds", "Cost and Maintenance of a French Garden", "A Word to Amateur Gardeners", etc. 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.
