An Easy Guide to Gardening

""An Easy Guide to Gardening"" is a 1927 gardening manual written by H. H. Thomas. It concentrates on initial garden work and preparation, as well as carrying out particular garden tasks in the proper season. Written in simple language and full of helpful diagrams, this volume covers the most important aspects of gardening and constitutes a must-read for gardeners new and old. Contents include: ""The Ideal Garden"", ""Planning the Garden"", ""Why Seeds Do Not Come Up"", ""Raising Plants from Seed"", ""Flowers that Show Themselves"", ""A Plea for a Tree or Two"", ""The Best Weeping Trees"", ""Making and Managing a Lawn"", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of gardening.
