Excerpt from The Horticulturist: Or, the Culture and Management of the Kitchen, Fruit,& Forcing Garden
The Author submits the following work to the public as by far the best Treatise on the Culture of the Fruit and Kitchen Garden which has hitherto been produced by his pen; because it contains all the latest improvements, while the Horticulture in the last edition of the Encyclop?dia of Gardening was prepared in 1834. He has bestowed more than common care in compiling the present Treatise, and he has had the inestimable advantage of being assisted by Mr. Thompson, the superintendant of the fruit and culinary vegetable departments in the Horticultural Society's Garden. The selections and descriptions of fruits, and of culinary vegetables, have either been made by Mr. Thompson, or approved of by him.
The Author has also had the assistance of various other practical gardeners, including Mr. Henry Charles Ogle, who prepared the Calendarial and General Index, and Mr. Lymburn, who furnished most of the Notes in the Appendix. The important note in p. 706, on the subject of charcoal, and the use of rough, rooty, turfy soil, and small stones in potting plants, is extracted from an article on this subject in The Gardeners Magazine for November 1842, by Mr. James Barnes, gardener to the Right Hon. Lady Rolle, at Bicton, near Exeter.
