The foregoing referencee to theca great natural artlete are given to explain why I attempted to plow a few furrowe in our virgin Canadian meadow land. The work of thoue champion plowmen dose not. And could not. Apply to our climate. And the magnificent dietancea of our broad domain. Lome three thou sand milee in length and a thoueand milee. Perhape. In width. In the boundary of a part of our national field. My firet intention wee only to give an outline eketch of Spring. That ended. My ambition extended. And the reet inet grew - like Topey. In tact. The compceiticn followed the march of the year. For one night of each week for twdve monthe wae devoted to thie work.

Canadian Seasons (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of essays about the beauty and bounty of Canadian seasons, especially as experienced in the land that will one day be Ontario. The author was a pioneer and a fruit-grower who believed that Canada's abundant resources were largely untapped when it came to horticulture. This, he believed, was due to a lack of knowledge and experience in cultivating the land. In this book, the author draws from a deep well of historical knowledge and literary references to address various themes: the importance of environmental stewardship, the rewards of hard work, and the changing ways of life in a society that is rapidly growing and developing. The author's prose is often humorous and even playful, reflecting the joy he found in his life's work. This book is an important historical document that provides a unique perspective on the Victorian era, when these essays were written, and offers a valuable contribution to the history of Canadian agriculture. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780243497416_0
