| Publisher Description: This early work is a fascinating read for any amateur or professional horticulturalist or historian of the profession, but it contains much information that is still useful and practical today. Contents Include: Foreword; Acknowledgements; Plants and Their Environment; Aspects of Soil Cultivation; The Principles of Plant Nutrition; Soils for Special Purposes; The Plant in Relation to Light, Air, and Temperature; The Life-Story of Garden Plants; Flowers and Fruits; Pruning and Training; Vegetative Propagation; The Different Forms of Garden Plants; The Plant in Sickness; Classifying and Naming Plants. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. |
