The different modes of cultivating the pine-apple : Historic Glasshouse Methods for Ananas Care, Heat, Soil, Pits, Pots, and Succession

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The different modes of cultivating the pine-apple is a compact but revealing horticultural treatise devoted to one of the most prized forcing-house fruits of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Loudon surveys practical systems for raising pineapples under glass, attending to heat, soil, pits, pots, succession, and the comparative merits of rival methods. Its style is empirical, orderly, and reformist: less a gentlemanly curiosity than a contribution to the practical literature that helped transform gardening into a disciplined, technical art. J. C. Loudon, the Scottish botanist, garden designer, and indefatigable editor, was among the central figures in popularizing scientific horticulture in Britain. His wide experience with landscape design, encyclopedic compilation, and periodical instruction made him especially alert to the need for clear comparisons between customary practice and improved technique. This work reflects his broader ambition to make expert knowledge accessible, testable, and useful beyond elite estates. Readers interested in garden history, glasshouse culture, colonial plants, or the emergence of modern horticultural method will find this work rewarding. It is recommended not merely as a manual on pineapple cultivation, but as a window into the ingenuity, expense, and intellectual seriousness once invested in producing an exotic fruit in a temperate climate.
