Excerpt from The Garden Week by Week, Throughout the Year
A brief calendar of gardening operations throughout the year has formed an item in many books on horticulture; it has been put in as a kind of summary.
Readers have not been wanting who have declared that the few pages at the end of such volumes are the most useful parts of them, and that many more prominent portions are negligible.
This suggests that a book which is wholly calendarial, but illustrated with practical figures as well as photographs and coloured plates, might secure a good constituency; hence the preparation of the present volume.
It does not contain anything whatever about Garden Art, nor about the general principles of gardening. (I have dealt with them in its predecessor The Perfect Garden.) It is composed of twelve practical chapters, subdivided so as to show seasonable work for every week in the year. Its scheme is therefore the essence of simplicity.
The reader is told what operations to perform, and what plants to grow every week. Information is given in detail, but each section is summarised, so that a glance tells what to do at any given period.
Readers in the north will find that they must work about a fortnight later than those in the south.
