Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ideal GardenGardening is the most delightful of all recreations, since it allows each of its followers to set up his own ideals and in his own way to strive for their attainment. The ideal garden is an expression of the highest hopes of the gardener. Ideals that are close to his heart are materialised in the flower groups that have found form and made pro gress under his direction. They are cherished because the way of achievement led across the stepping stones of disappointment and disillusion. They represent hours of real pleasure spent among the flowers, hours that, living only as happy mem ories, have forged links binding season to season in a chain of treasured thoughts.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Four Seasons in the Garden Cess. The first thing to do is to grade the ground evenly. Most persons prefer a lawn that slopes away from house to road in an almost imperceptible incline of surface. Such a lawn is easier to make than a level one, be cause any little departure from a perfectly even surface Will be far less noticeable. To secure the necessary slope, ea1'th will have to be filled in near the house if the lot 18 a comparatively level one. Wherever there has been an exca vation made for the house-walls or a cellar, there Will generally be enough earth near the house to furnish all the filling needed in making the required slope. This soil, Which is almost always hard, should be worked over until it is as fine and mellow as possible, for a good lawn cannot be made from a coarse and lumpy soil. If the soil is not rich, it should be made so. I would advise the use of bone-meal in liberal quantity in preference to barn-yard fertilizer, because it never introduces the seeds of weeds into the lawn, as manure from the stables is very sure to do. Coarse bone-meal, in the pro portion of a half pound to each square yard. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

I can safely say, all flowers require sun shine; therefore we must follow Mr. Sun for a day or two, and see just where he casts his beams, for in just those spots must we use our greatest efforts.

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.

Download or read book A Farm Garden Classic Reprint written by R. B. Cruickshank and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Farm Garden Every farm should have a garden. The garden may vary in size and in variety, quantity and quality of resulting produce, depending upon the tastes and abilities of the individual owners, but any farm is a better farm for having a good garden. The garden is sometimes called a home garden, sometimes a kitchen garden. The ideal home garden, whether it be on a farm or on a city lot, is one that furnishes a desirable variety of products of high quality continuously throughout a season. The need of a kitchen garden on a farm is an urgent one. There is no handy grocery store to which the housewife can phone and which will deliver to her berries and vegetables when she wishes them. The men are generally too busy to drop their farm work and drive to the grocery in town for the needed supplies. If the housewife is expected to prepare many vegetables for the table, she must have, close to the house a garden which will afford a selection of seasonable produce. The cost of feeding the family will be materially reduced, and there will be a more pleasing variety of food offered, when a well planned, well cared for garden is added to the farm. A garden, the plan of which has been thoroughly worked out will, under proper management, give a succession of fresh and canned fruits and vegetables the year round. Probably as much, or more, satisfaction and financial gain can be obtained from an area devoted to the growing of such products as from that used by any other farm crop.

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 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.

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.
