The Planning Planting Of Little Gardens Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Planning Planting of Little Gardens The object of this book is to assist the owners of small garden plots to determine the best ways of laying them out, so that the greatest possible use may be made of the area, and the most picturesque effects obtained therein. Much general information has also been introduced, indicating the uses to which the garden may be put when it is made, and also what can be grown therein. It was considered unnecessary to crowd the pages with a great many detailed cultural directions or descriptions of plants, and an effort has been made rather to indicate the objective to be aimed at, and the course to pursue to attain it, than to produce a compendium of gardening lore generally. Having decided of what the garden is to consist, readers will do well to look for books treating more intimately with the particular garden feature or features they have decided to adopt. To those who desire information on rose-growing I would commend Rose Growing Made Easy, by E. T. Cook; for information on rock gardening, The Rock Garden, by E. H. Jenkins. Fruit Growing for Beginners, by F. W. Harvey, will be found useful to those desiring to garden for practical ends; and whether the garden is large or small.
