Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Handbook to the Flower Garden and Greenhouse The following short lessons for the cultivation of all the popular flowers and plants will be acceptable to those who grow a variety of subjects, and who have general garden establishments. It has always been my aim to avoid mystery - to use the plainest and simplest way of doing everything, from the mixing of the compost to the perfecting of the plant. I differ from most of the previous writers on the culture of many subjects, for I recommend nothing that is difficult to obtain or offensive in its nature. I have, as far as I could do so, made gardening a pleasure. I do not pretend that the numerous plants and flowers mentioned here are all that could be cultivated; but I will say they comprise the best, the most popular, and the least troublesome of all our floral beauties, and few persons will desire a better collection than may be found among the subjects in the present work. Some of the ordinary operations in a garden are described at the beginning, that they may not have to be repeated in treating of particular plants. I am thus enabled to say briefly, "Shift this, or prune that, or repot the other," instead of going over the same ground again when touching upon the numerous plants, which, in fact, require the same treatment. Nevertheless, some of the most popular subjects have tempted me to give particular directions, which are impressed upon the mind of the grower by distinct lessons, simply because I know many are apt to look for the article they require, and expect to find all the necessary information under that one head. General Management Of A Greenhouse A greenhouse is a structure for the protection of plants of temperature climates, requiring in this country but little artificial heat.

This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ladies' Flower-Garden of Ornamental Greenhouse Plants Greenhouse plants are now also planted out much more commonly in the open air than they used to be, and for this purpose cuttings are made in autumn, and struck by plunging them into a hotbed; and the plants thus raised are kept during the winter in what is called a cold pit, and they are planted out in May or J une. A cold pit is formed by making an excavation in the ground about two feet deep, and lining it with brick. Ou this is set a frame with glass lights, like that used for a hotbed, and the plants which are put in it are kept as dry as possible. Air is given every mild day between ten and three o'clock; and the glass lights are covered with mats every evening between four and five, when it appears at all likely to freeze.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Floral World and Garden Guide: A Complete Manual for the Management of the Garden, Greenhouse, and Conservatory The Epiphyllum truncatum, with its varieties of rose and scarlet, are very attractive objects from the end of November until late in the spring. Plants grafted on stems about 18 inches to 2 feet high, form quite umbrella-shaped heads, and produce hundreds of blossoms. When grown thus they form splendid objects. Smaller plants, when in bloom, show themselves well Off when placed in a hanging basket for the blooms are seen to the best advantage, as they are naturallyr of a pendulous habit. They require a mixture of sifted lime-rubbish, sharp sand, yellow loam, and leaf-mould, in about equal proportions. If large plants are required, they must have plenty of root-room when they are growing, and be moderately supplied with water. Do not allow them to become hard and dry, for if you do they will not flower satisfactorily. They require to be kept in a hot sunshiny corner in the greenhouse all the summer.

This book was released on 2018-03-24 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Seasons in a Flower Garden a Handbook of Information and Instruction for the Amateur These pages are for the most part a condensed record of flower-time - just a little garden wisdom, which may guide others who, unaided by an experienced man, do give love labor to the green things growing. They are especially prepared for those who have small gardens where space must be economized in order to welcome the variety of posies that are the heart's desire. After some short directions on Plans, Planting, and Soil, the book is arranged in the order of months, beginning with September, for reasons explained later, and giving under each month a few introductory suggestions and a list of its flowering plants, together with practical hints for garden work during that month. After November winter intervenes, and the record begins again with March. After a little study it should not be too difficult, I hope, for any one to select suitable plants and arrange them in such a way as to make even a small garden show well during the whole season of flowers. If the eye is trained in the harmony of colors, no fairer castle in the air can be imagined than a garden in its proper color blending, abloom in every section all through the summer. The setting of plants with regard to height as well as to color adds to the intricacies of this fascinating scheming, which will bring a summer morning into the dreariest of winter days - the time for sketching plans for outdoor planting.
