This 1926 gardening handbook focuses on the growing of three types of
flower: Begonias, Gladioli, and Dahlias. Dahlias and Gladioli are
popular summer and autumn flowering plants, whereas the Begonia is
suited to summer outdoors and winter under glass. This vintage book
includes a wealth of useful information related to these particular
flowers, as well as step-by-step instructions and expert tips for their
successful growing. Profusely illustrated throughout and written in
simple language, this vintage guide is perfect for amateurs and would
make for a worthy addition to collections of gardening literature.
Contents include: "The Dahlia's Progress", "How to Grow Dahlias", "How
the Dahlia is Increased", etc. Many vintage books such as this are
becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this
volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with
a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of gardening.
