The Gardeners Treasury OR some subtle psychological reason we are always able to take a livelier interest in reading a biographical sketch of a person who is a stranger to us if it is accompanied by a portrait of that person. We believe it is equally true that whatever a gardener may read about a plant will be more readily added to his store of useful knowledge if, whilst reading, he can have at hand an accurate photographic illustration of the plant. Still fresh in the memory of our friends will be the phenomenal success which instantaneously greeted the publication of Amateur Gardening Jubilee Book under the appropriate title The Gardeners Enquire 1Vithilz. That very comprehensive work deals in a practical manner with the art and craft of gardening in all its phases, and when it became unquestionably evident that another great effort was demanded of us to gratify the insatiable appetite of our public for serviceable and instructive books, we had no hesitation in deciding that a volume of plant portraits, garden scenes and practical photographic illustrations of important con- structional and cultural operations would constitute a veritable Gardeners Treasury. This book will make an ideal companion to The Gardeners Enquire Within and to Sanders Encyclopaedia of Gardening, and furthermore will enhance the value of other volmes from our comprehensive range of books which the reader may possess. Even the weekly issues of Amateur Gardening will acquire an added interest now that it will be possible to turn up in the Treasury an illustration that will help the amateur to visualise what manner of plant it is of which he reads. We make no pretence that every plant grown in British gardens is illustrated here that would be beyond the scope of practical economics, but we do maintain that The Gardeners Treasury contains the most repre- sentative collection of illustrations from life of the.............

Download or read book The Gardener of Versailles written by Alain Baraton and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2014-02-11 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An “eccentric and charming” love letter to Versailles Palace and its storied grounds, by the man who knows them best—for gardening lovers and Francophiles (New York Times) Tour Versailles’ 2,100 acres as its gardener-in-chief describes its fascinating history and his 40 years of living and working in the gardens. In Alain Baraton’s Versailles, every grove tells a story. As the gardener-in-chief, Baraton lives on its grounds, and since 1982 he has devoted his life to the gardens, orchards, and fields that were loved by France’s kings and queens as much as the palace itself. His memoir captures the essence of the connection between gardeners and the earth they tend, no matter how humble or grand. With the charm of a natural storyteller, Baraton weaves his own path as a gardener with the life of the Versailles grounds, and his role overseeing its team of 80 gardeners tending to 350,000 trees and 30 miles of walkways across 2,100 acres. He richly evokes this legendary place and the history it has witnessed but also its quieter side that he feels privileged to know: The same gardens that hosted the lavish lawn parties of Louis XIV and the momentous meeting between Marie Antoinette and the Cardinal de Rohan remain enchanted—private places where visitors try to get themselves locked in at night, lovers go looking for secluded hideaways, and elegant grandmothers secretly make cuttings to take back to their own gardens. A tremendous bestseller in France, The Gardener of Versailles gives an unprecedentedly intimate view of one of the grandest places on earth.

Each word is listed with a pronunciation guide, definition, example plant, and, where appropriate, etymology. Also included in this illuminating guide are special features on important plant genera, fact boxes, essays focusing on the history and importance of Latin names and botanical illustrations, and an index of common names with more than 2,000 popular plants, cross-referenced with their binomial name in Latin.
