A Handy Book of Horticulture | Nature

ABSTRACT THIS is a little book intended “for the class of fairly intelligent young men who are placed in sole charge of small gardens, who have little natural aptitude for gardening and no

training, and who look in vain to their employers for teaching or suggestions of any kind.” The questions naturally arise how such men come to have charge of gardens, and whether any book is

likely to be of material service to them. For a class of better informed readers with a real interest in the subject the present book is better adapted, as the directions are simple and

clear. The practical instruction conveyed is good, but, although the book is not intended for botanists, we may fairly look for accuracy and correct spelling of names. _A Handy Book of
