Description
The Amateur Gardner provides in one volume information which must generally be sought in five or six separate books. Soil management, fertilisers and their application, the cultivation of all kinds of flowers, ornamental trees and shrubs, lawn management, the care of greenhouse plants, vegetable and fruit growing and the treatment of common pests and diseases are all dealt with in detail.
Novices will find this book an invaluable introduction to the first principles of gardening, while those with greater experience will return to it again and again as a reference book covering all aspects of their hobby, no matter how wide their interests may grow. In consequence it can be recommended with equal confidence to both old and new gardeners.
