First published in 1923, this volume contains a fantastic guide to gardening, with chapters on everything from constructing rose and rock gardens to adding water features, soil and seasonal considerations, landscaping, and much more. Written with the beginner in mind, it contains step-by-step instructions and expert tips to guide the reader towards their perfect garden. Contents include: "The House", "The Bulb Garden", "The Rock Garden", "The Rose Garden", "Annuals", "The Herbaceous Border", "The Formal Garden", "The Water Garden", "Lawns and Paths", "Trees and Shrubs", "The Kitchen Garden", "The Herb Garden", "The Fruit 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 a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of gardening.
