Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Cabbage, Cauliflower and Allied Vegetables: From Seed to Harvest
Gardening is an art, and he who produces the most and best from a given acreage is the most use ful artisan. To be a successful gardener - and the term belongs to all who own or till the soil, no mat ter what the extent of the Operations may be -to get the best results from the labor of one's hands, certain principles and practices must be thoroughly understood. As these are alike in all branches of agriculture and horticulture, we shall endeavor to explain certain rules, and to state certain principles and practices that will be equally useful in every field, no matter what the crop may be, or to what extent it may be grown.
Fixed rules in agriculture cannot be laid down. While principles are fixed, practices are conditional; as, for instance, the time of planting is purely a local matter which every one must decide according to the conditions of climate; while how to plant, and what to plant, are principles applicable to all localities.
