Download or read book The Joy of Gardens Classic Reprint written by Lena May McCauley and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Joy of Gardens Any book about gardens, written for the pleasure of writing, must have its sources in dreams. The visions of gardens beautiful and retired hover before the imagination, and no real garden, however humble, but is invested in celestial light of cherished hopes of what it may become in fragrant flowers or what it might have been had fortune been kind. The facts and the fancies of this book were discovered in various gardens, some centuries old, fruitful of memories of those whose hands have long since turned to dust, others in the joyous public gardens with parterres, and the most precious of all in the quiet gardens of my friends. "Gardening," said a wise writer, "is among the purest of pleasures," and one tossed on the fretful world knows that there is no purer delight than that which comes to the human heart with friends in gardens. To many friends, far and wide, I owe whatever inspiration lives in these pages. The illustration of the book was an afterthought carried out in the desire to suggest the art of landscape gardening.

Download or read book Little Gardens and How to Make the Most of Them Classic Reprint written by H. H. Thomas and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Gardens and How to Make the Most of Them The irregular garden plan shown by Fig. 3 will appeal, I think, to the fancy of fewer gardeners, yet it has many good nowts. It gives the charm of mystery to many a walk and nook, while at the same time increasing the number of aspects, and therefore of possibilities. There is a substantial summerhouse in an ever green sheltered corner, which would prove useful also as a. Winter retreat if it could face south or south-west. Safe Rules for Laying out Walks. - Allow for approach to every bit of cultivated ground; give sufficient scope for pleasant pedestrian exercise, create as many new views as possible by turns and branches, yet avoid sacrificing ground unnecessarily. In Fig. 3 it will be seen that there is no path on one side of the lawn, as the flower border can be reached by the turf, and the flowers will look their best against it. A considerable amount of vegetable garden is allowed for, and there is a good rosery. One should always make new walks wide enough for comfort in walking, say a minimum width of 3 feet unless the garden is very small. Fig. 2 would prove more suitable than Fig. 1 for quite a small piece of ground, perhaps, but Fig. 3 could be simplified by making only one lawn and turning the distant grass into kitchen garden.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of the Cottage Garden Scattered throughout the length and breadth of Eng land, facmg dusty roadsides, hidden among the Shadows of quiet lanes, clinging to the Slopes of seaworn cliffs, skirting golden commons, are cottage gardens innumer able. Rarely are they ugly often they are pictures of sweetest charm and complete artistic fulfilment. Here is no straining after effect, no surrender to the dictates of passing fashion, no meaningless attempt to introduce into an environment utterly foreign to them, styles and mannerisms borrowed from other countries. Here we Shall seek in vain the Statuary and vases which, according so admirably with the Stately dignity of those memory haunted gardens of Italy, distort and make hideous the expensive gardens which certain architects have planned for English parvenus. Motives of economy, if not those of better feeling, have excluded from our wayside gardens the varnished huts with windows of stained glass, which, dignified as summer-houses, adorn a thousand suburban plots. The cheap conservatory is conspicuous by its absence; there are no ricketty chairs with Striped awnings, tawdry Japanese umbrellas or portable hammocks. In short, the average cottage garden is a garden, not a piece of ground littered with a medley of rubbish, which lacks even the merit of accomplishing the doubtful purpose for which it was intended.

Download or read book The Garden at Home Classic Reprint written by Harry Higgott Thomas and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-17 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Garden at Home Too often is the garden at home marred by the reproach of dullness that is apparent in every bed and border, in every walk - nay, in every weed. There is nothing individual in its charm; it has no glamour of its own. Its successes are those of a hundred others, and there is nothing characteristic even in its faults. Commonplace practice fashions a wide groove in which it is easy to follow, but from which it becomes increasingly difficult to escape. So one home gardener works very much like another because his attention is fixed on the long, straight road in front, which has thrown dust in his eyes, blinding him to the charm of the luxuriant hedgerows on either side. An old French proverb says, La variete c'est la vie, but the average owner of a garden appears to have views of his own on the subject. Otherwise, to take only one instance, why, five years ago, if he wanted a climbing rose, did he choose Crimson Rambler, and later, when dispensing with this, select only Dorothy Perkins? For the simple reason that his neighbour did the same. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Praise of Gardens A garden is also eloquent to the ear, for it is the home of song-birds. Here come and nest the happy people of the sky, accompanying, with their vocal music, the thoughts and emotions which the garden, by its silence, breathes into us. They pipe their lays to our mood either of morn ing exultation or of evening's meditation. The mystery is that they come upon us not as in truders or disturbers in this retreat of quietude, but rather as companions in labor or as friends in sympathy. I know no more joyous encourager to effort than the lark's song falling down from a brilliant summer evening's sky; and I know of no more deeply touching sense of kinship with nature than that which comes over us with the parting trills of the thrush on some golden.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Garden That I Love Second Series The Longest day.-some too partial persons have been pleased to say that not only the writing of books concerning gardens, but the growing atfec tion for them, owes something to The Garden that I Love. I am so little of an author, though so much of a gardener in a small way, that I fear the expression of this belief gives one a certain amount of pleasure, since even the most unambitious persons have, in their hearts, the foible of self complacency as much as the most soaring. But this weakness receives its corrective from Lamia's irony and the Poet's chastening sense. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Home Garden Classic Reprint written by Ella Rodman Church and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Home Garden Is there no beauty in Pomona that we can call to our aid? For why should we everlastingly apply to Flora for everything that is beautiful in the embellishment of our gardens Fruit-trees have flowers as well, and thus they Offer us a double supply of beauty; being beautiful when in flower and beautiful when in fruit - pleasing to the eye and to the taste, and ornamental as well as useful - doubly gratifying and doubly enjoyable. Plants with bright seed-vessels are always in demand for their ornamental qualities; but, after all, these only please the eye, instead of furnishing, like the fruit-trees, entertainment for man and beast. Red-cheeked apples, it is argued, are quite as decorative as red-berried shrubs; and the bird's-eye cherry is scarcely more desirable when in flower than any other cherry, while the ripe fruit, preserves, etc., of the ordinary kind will cause the empty blossoms to go up at full sail.
