This early work was built on an entirely new principle. Every aspect of the art and science of gardening is presented through the medium of pictures and diagrams so as to enable to veriest novice to undertake with confidence the cultivation of fruit flowers and vegetables the care of poultry bees and rabbits. It has been said that one good picture is worth ten thousand words; this book is proof of the truth of that statement. Containing a wealth of information and anecdote that is still useful and practical today this is a fascinating book that is thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of today s gardener. 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.
