Excerpt from Illustrated Garden Guide: A Practical Introduction to Garden Formation and the Cultivation of Flowers, Fruit and Vegetables, With a Monthly Calendar
IN spite of the large number of books on the delightful pastime of gardening, it is still common to meet with people who say that there is no work which tells them in a few simple words how to start, and what a beginning costs.
The point of their complaint is that they are not shown how to start economically. They make expensive mistakes at the outset, because they are not taught how to prepare their ground, how to select their tools, how to procure their stocks of plants, how to form their grass plots, and how to erect their greenhouses with reasonable cheapness.
They charge gardening authors with making their directions too general, and with want of exactness as to the necessary outlay, Gardening is a many-sided subject, and a good deal might be said on behalf of the author; however, it will be more to the point to try to remove the cause of complaint.
