Excerpt from Shanghai Gardens: With Notes on the Cultivation of Hot House Plants, Flowers, &C
The collection of Notes and Sketches herewith gathered together appeared in weekly parts in the columns of "Sport and Gossip." As nothing of the kind had ever been done in Shanghai before, it was thought that their publication might be useful to the ever-growing number of residents who are so fortunate as to have their own gardens.
The collection is not quite so complete as it was intended to make it, owing mainly to a change in the editorship of the journal, but whatever shortcomings may be found on that account are, the publishers believe, more than made up by the excellent practical notes beginning on p. 89 These are from the pen of a most competent horticulturist, one whose knowledge of Shanghai garden capabilities is second to none, and it will be found that in them the kitchen garden has been kept in view no less than that of the flowers. The publishers, therefore, in offering this little volume to the public, do so in the well-founded belief that it will be useful to a large number of Shanghai residents, and hardly less so to numbers at the outports.
