First published in 1879, "Floriculture" is a comprehensive guide to
planting, propagating and caring for the finest garden flowers. Written
in simple, clear language and profusely illustrated, this timeless guide
contains all the information a gardener needs to know and would make for
a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Also included
is a year-long calendar of tasks to keep your garden on track and
looking beautiful. Contents include: "Phlox Perennial", "Picotee",
"Pink", "Plumbago Capensis", "Polyanthus", "Primula Sinesis",
"Primrose", "Ranunculus", "Rhododendron", "Rose", "Salvia", "Scarlet
Geranium", "Sedum", "Snowdrop", "Soils", "Soils and Potting", "Stocks",
"Suitable Plants", "Sweat Pea", "Syringing", "Tools and their Uses",

such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in
mind that 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.
