Written by an author with forty years gardening experience and a leading expert of his time, although originally published in the 1940s it is still relevant today and explains in clear language and with illustrations all those practical operations which contribute to success in town and country gardening with flowers, shrubs and vegetables. In its re-mastered format it is a valuable, concise and practical guide to British gardening and horticulture. This work remains highly relevant to horticultural historians and gardening enthusiasts alike.
