The Home Gardening Encyclopaedia - With Illustrations Walter Brett

First published in 1940, this volume contains a complete encyclopedia of gardening, including information and instructions related to a wide variety of subjects ranging from choosing seeds and planting them to pruning, propagating, marketing, and much more. This fantastic volume constitutes a must-have for all green-fingered enthusiasts, and it would make for a worthy addition to any bookshelf. Contents include: "Annuals, Hardy and Half-Hardy", "Bedding Plants, Spring", "Bedding Plants, Summer", "Bedding, Spring Bulbs", "Bulbs for Bedding", "Bulbs for Bowls", "Bulbs for Pots", "Cuttings, How to Take", "Flowers for Exhibition", "Frost, Plant Protection Against", "Fruit-pruning", 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 kitchen gardening.
