A History of Gardening in England (Classic Reprint) by Evelyn Cecil Pdf

Excerpt from A History of Gardening in England I also wish gratefully to acknowledge the kindness of Mr. J'. G. Baker, in looking over the following pages whilst still in proof-sheets. The correction of the proofs had been rendered an easy task for me by the kind co-operation of my friend, Miss Margaret macarthur. My thanks are also due to Professor Skeat and Mr. James Britten for their help in the identification of some of the plants mentioned in the fifteenth-century manuscripts, and to Mr. R. E. G. Kirk, who assisted me in deciphering some of the earlier Latin ones; also to Mr. Michael Kerney for revising my bibliography of printed books on Gardening to the end of the seventeenth century. I regret that the continuation from the year 1699 has not received as much time and attention as I wished to bestow upon it, as I have had to complete it rather hurriedly on account of my having been absent abroad for several months.

What England Can Teach Us about Gardening (Classic Reprint) by Wilhelm Miller Pdf

Excerpt from What England Can Teach Us About Gardening As to manner my pen falters at dedicating to so finished a literary man as Moses Coit Tyler a book that would probably seem to him the negation of everything literary. I have used slang, which he abhorred, and I have written like one business man to another, instead of following the classical models that I studied in college. But this is an age of new faces, other minds. It is an age of big business, ' and the big things in gardening are generally done by successful business men. The wives may plan the gardens, but the husbands usually pay for them, and there fore I address chiefly the men - men who can give and take hard knocks good-naturedly. For you men need some straight from-the-shoulder blows. You do not love gardening enough. You gag at the cost. And you do not employ the best advisers. You may be good buyers of bonds, but not of plants. You can cut the price, but you can't get the best results that wayf What you need is to study the subject matter of gardening, which is quite as important and interesting as sport.

Old-Fashioned Gardening by Grace Tabor Pdf

Excerpt from Old-Fashioned Gardening: A History and a Reconstruction When the idea of this book first came to me, long ago, suggested by the question that has continually been asked me by a great many people, it shaped itself in my imagination as something very dif ferent from what I now find the actuality to be. The sorcery of the phrase was upon me; and I never dreamed that old-fashioned gardening could lead me on other than a gentle, sweet and sentimental pilgrimage through flowery ways, along which fine, shadowy figures flitted to keep me goodly, if ghostly, company.

Excerpt from A History of English Gardening, Chronological, Biographical, Literary, and Critical: Tracing the Progress of the Art in This Country From the Invasion of the Romans to the Present Time The author has the ungrateful task Of confessing his knowledge that his work is very far from per feet. Owing to the very numerous authorities he has had to consult, and in the extracts made, errors it is feared may have arisen but there are none thatdiligence could prevent. In confessing such imperfection he follows the example Of a labourer in the same field with himself, I see daily, says Professor Martyn, Complete Systems, and Complete Dictionaries; but 1 cannot disco ver this perfection in any Of my performances, which after all my labour and pains, most pro vokingly still continue incomplete and erroneous. This confession is no affectation Of humility, the author Of the following pages employed his bestefforts, endeavoured to be correct and perfect, and confesses that in many instances he has failed that at the same time he may express how Open he isto correction; for any such whether in the form Of additions or errata, he always be grateful.

The Evolution of Horticulture in New England (Classic Reprint) by Daniel Denison Slade Pdf

Excerpt from The Evolution of Horticulture in New England They do but submit to the great law of nature, which declares that all sublunary shapes of matter shall be limited in their duration, but which decrees, also, that their elements shall never perish. Generation alter generation, both in animal and vegetable life, passes away, but the vital principle is transmitted to posterity, and the species continue to flourish. Thus, also, do authors beget authors, and having produced a numerous progeny, in a good old age they sleep with their fathers, that is to say, with the authors who preceded them - and from whom they had stolen.'

Garden Design by Madeline Agar Pdf

Excerpt from Garden Design: In Theory and Practice There are many good and helpful books worth careful reading - among which may be mentioned Kemp's H are to Lay out a Garden, Milner's Land scape Gardening, Blomfield's Formal Garden in England, Ed. André's great work l'art des jardins, Mawson's Art and Craft of Garden Making, and from the historical side The History of Gardening in England by the Hon. Alicia Amherst. The standard work on Japanese gardens is by J. Conder. Many other books might be mentioned, but the above I have found the most interesting from the design point of view, and I make my acknowledgments to the authors who have in any way assisted me in the art Of Garden Design.

The Art and Practice of Landscape Gardening (Classic Reprint) by Henry Ernest Milner Pdf

Excerpt from The Art and Practice of Landscape Gardening It is not the author's intention by this book to give another history of landscape gardening; his intention is rather to record the present development of the art and his own relation to, and practice of it. The love of natural picturesqueness is of very modern growth in England. Its rise was coincident with that of the modern novel in literature, and of genre painting in art. Little more than a century has, with the aid of conducing influences, ripened the feeling to a passion. Peace and augmenting prosperity have been necessary conditions for advancing the art.
