Samenvatting:

This vintage book contains all the essential details of gardening, with chapters that deal with all the most common hardy and greenhouse flowers, ornamental trees and shrubs, the rock garden, and fruit trees and vegetables. Written in simple, clear language and full of expert tips, "The Manual of Practical Gardening" is perfect for novice gardeners and would make for a worthy addition to gardening collections. Contents include: "The Ideal Garden", "Planning and Planting", "Secrets of Successful Gardening", "Hedge and Shelter Shrubs", "How to Make Garden Paths", "Making and Managing a Lawn", "Popular Hardy Border Flowers", "The Herbaceous or Hardy Flower Border", "Roses and How to Grow Them", "Pruning Rose Trees", "Making and Planting a Rock Garden", 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 an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of gardening.
