How To Grow Roses In The Garden And In Pots Under Glass 1885 PDF Download

Excerpt from Roses, and How to Grow Them: A Manual for Growing Roses in the Garden and Under Glass All that is really necessary for the amateur rose grower to know in order that he may intelligently make a rose garden, select his varieties and grow the harvest of bloom, is told in this volume. Many books on the rose are more bulky, but the additional matter is not of an essential character. In this volume everything not directly to the point of practical rose growing for the American amateur is omitted. The writings of several expert amateur rosarians which have appeared in The Garden Magazine and Country Life in America, have been drawn upon freely in the preparation of the text; notably articles by Dr. Robert Huey and Mr. Aaron Ward for the outdoor cultivation. Mr. Leonard Barron provides the chapters on "Roses for Special Purposes" and "Roses Under Glass" - excepting the section dealing with American Beauties, which is by Mr. Henry Hentz, Jr. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
