Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When The Biggle Garden Book was first published in 1908, most people were in the habit of raising their own food and flowers. Jacob Biggle felt that a gardener’s success had to do with willpower and passion rather than acreage. “The man, woman or youngster who really wants a garden, will somehow manage to have a good one regardless of soil conditions, bad weather, measles in the family, or whether the area of ground at hand is a square acre or a square rod,” he wrote encouragingly at the start of the book. That passion for gardening continues today in fields, backyards, and urban community plots across the United States. According to a poll taken in 2009 by the National Gardening Association, more than forty-three million households in the United States grow some of their own food. Learn how to do things the “old-school” way as Jacob and Harriet Biggle guide you through the fundamentals of: Soil preparation, sowing, and planting Hotbeds and cold frames Fertilization, cultivation, and irrigation Flower gardening with old-fashioned favorites Garden pests and friends With a resurgence in organic farming, heirloom varieties, and self-reliant living, The Biggle Garden Book is more valuable than ever because of the time-tested advice it offers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biggle Garden: Vegetables, Small Fruits and Flowers for Pleasure and Profit In reality a preface is rather a queer thing, because it's a "foreword" which is written last! So, it seems, I am now to have the last word. To begin, I feel especially indebted to R. L. Watts for several extracts from his excellent Pennsylvania Bulletin No. 147; to W. N. Hutt, author of Maryland Bulletin No. 116; and to the authors of various other bulletins, books and catalogs whose writings have given me occasional lifts over rough places. My thanks go also to various friends and correspondents, and to a few well-known implement manufacturers, who kindly loaned me several photographs. Most of the pictures in the book, however, were especially made for it by expert photographers and engravers who were carefully instructed regarding the practical details of each picture. Now just a few hints about the final problem of the average gardener - the selling end of the business: Don't ship to every strange commission house that solicits your consignment. Get a good solid house and stick to it. Or sell direct to storekeepers; or join or form a co-operative shipping and selling association; or work up a list of retail customers of your own. As an aid to the latter plan, the Long Island Agronomist, Medford, L. I., N. Y., has evolved a shipping package which it calls a "home hamper." It measures twenty-four inches long, fourteen inches wide, ten inches deep, and weighs about thirty pounds when filled.
