Excerpt from The Culture and Diseases of the Sweet Pea
The keen appreciation of the public of the beauties of nature as expressed in the building of parks and public gardens, in the planting of street trees, and in the adornment of private grounds and homes by means of ornamental plants is one of the most distinctive marks of an advanced civilization. The success of these undertakings means the overcoming of many difficulties which the casual observer fails to appreciate. It means not only the selection and arrangement of varieties in such manner as to meet with the most ?sthetical tastes of the public, but it frequently means growing the plants under new environmental conditions, the study of soil and climate, the contest against insects and diseases which continually threaten the existence of these plantings.
