Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Gardens and How to Make the Most of Them The world and his wife are gardeners nowadays. It is safe to conclude that most people have to be content with little gardens, and since these are notoriously more difficult to manage satisfactorily than large ones, I may be pardoned for believing that I have a good excuse for the publication of this volume. Little Gardens aims at giving concise and practical counsel on laying out a small garden and generally turning it to the best advantage. This may seem an impossible task within one hundred and fifty pages, but I believe the work loses nothing in being concise. Was I disposed to expatiate upon the delights that are within reach of the flower lover, or to elaborate an explanation of some practical work beyond the necessary limits? Then at once I was confronted with the list of subjects still not touched upon, and compelled, willy nilly, to confine my remarks strictly to essential information and to express this as briefly as possible. For the exposition of my views I have relied to some extent upon illustrations, for often it happens that a picture will tell a story better than a page of letterpress can do, and when pages are strictly limited, obviously this is a question worth consideration. One can make the most of a little garden only by choosing suitable plants and giving each the treatment best suited to its needs. Little Gardens weeds the good from the bad, and endeavours to show how the good may be made to give of their best.

Download or read book The Planning Planting of Little Gardens Classic Reprint written by George Dillistone and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-14 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
