| Publisher Description: "The Encyclopaedia Of Garden Work And Terms" is a fantastic vintage book that contains simple definitions for a vast range of gardening terms and horticultural nomenclature. If you are a keen gardener but don't know your ammonia from your alum or your corolla from your corona, then this book is definitely for you. Perfect for green-fingered enthusiasts and collectors of vintage gardening literature. Contents include: "Aborative", "Acaricide", "Acaulescent", "Achene", "Acicular", "Acid", "Acorn", "Acre", "Acuminate", "Acute", "Adpressed", "Adventitious", "Aerial Root", "Aerobic", "Aerosol", "Alginate", "Alkaline", "Alluvial", "Albino", "Alpine", "Algae", "Alum", "American Blight", "American Gooseberry Mildew", 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. |
