This vintage book contains a complete guide to trees and their
management, with information on growing and maintaining a variety of
trees in many different situations. Profusely illustrated and full of
timeless, practical information, "Tree Culture and Management" will be
of considerable utility to modern gardeners and green-fingered readers.
Contents include: "A Short History of Gardening", "Timber-Trees", "Trees
Which Grow Best in Moist Situations", "Tree Adapted for Thin and Poor
Soils, and Elevated Situations", "Growing Osiers", "Hedges", "Timber
Suitable for Hedgerows", "Plantations", and "Planting for
Ornamentation". Isabella Mary Beeton (1836-1865) was an English editor,
journalist, and writer. Her most famous work is her first book, "Mrs
Beeton's Book of Household Management" (1861). Many vintage books such
as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this
volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a
specially commissioned new introduction on the history of gardening.
