First published in 1940, this volume contains a complete encyclopedia of gardening, including information and instructions related to a wide variety of subjects ranging from choosing seeds and planting them to pruning, propagating, marketing, and much more. This fantastic volume constitutes a must-have for all green-fingered enthusiasts, and it would make for a worthy addition to any bookshelf. Contents include Annuals, Hardy and Half-Hardy, Bedding Plants, Spring, Bedding Plants, Summer, Bedding, Spring Bulbs, Bulbs for Bedding, Bulbs for Bowls, Bulbs for Pots, Cuttings, How to Take, Flowers for Exhibition, Frost, Plant Protection Against, Fruit-pruning, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on kitchen gardening.
