Description

First published in 1895, this vintage book offers the reader a beginner-friendly guide to growing plants in greenhouses and under glass. Written in simple, plain language and profusely-illustrated, this step-by-step guide is ideal for novice gardeners with an interest in greenhouses, and it would make for a useful addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "The Construction of Greenhouses", "Heating and General Management", "Appliances and Materials", Methods of Propagating Plants", "Potting, Watering, Training, and Feeding Plants", "Spring and Summer Flowering Plants", "Autumn and Winter Flowering Plants", "Bulbous and Tuberous-rooted Plants", 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 the history of gardening.
