First published in 1840, this vintage book contains a classic guide to gardening, originally designed especially for women. This easy-to-digest guide is full of simple instructions and expert tips that will be of considerable utility to novice gardeners and those looking to get into this wonderful pastime. Contents include: “Introduction”, “Stirring the Soil”. “Manuring the Soil, and Making Hotbeds”, “Sowing Seeds”, “Planting Bulbs and Tubers”, “Transplanting and Watering”, “Modes of Propagation by Division”, “Taking off Suckers”, “Making Layers and Cuttings”, “Budding”, “Grafting”, “Inarching”, “Pruning”, “Training”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.
