Excerpt from The Orchard, Lawn and Garden Guide: A Ready Reference Guide for the Growing of Vegetables, Shade and Fruit Trees, Flowers and Shrubs, Lawn Making, Pruning and Spraying, Etc
The first edition of this book under the name of "The A. B. C. Garden Book," published in the spring of 1920, was a small booklet on vegetable gardening. The book was hardly out of press before I realized the demand for a larger and more complete book, covering a wider field.
This is my second effort to bring before the public a book that will be useful to city and small town gardeners, and while I have exercised every care in choosing reliable information, I can scarcely hope to have escaped errors.
With many years experience in gardening, planting, pruning and spraying, as well as propagating, soiling and lawmaking, I have here tried to give the reader the benefit of this experience.
Should you find any errors or important omissions, I would appreciate your calling my attention to them, as it will be helpful to me in compiling other editions.
I am indebted to Henry A. Dreer Co., Philadelphia, Pa., for an article on floral culture, J. Van Lindley, Pomona, N. C., on "Fruits for the South," J. M. Thorburn & Co., Seedsmen, 54 Barclay St., N. Y., on "Why Some Seed Fail to Grow."
