Excerpt from Vegetable Culture: A Primer for Amateurs, Cottagers, and Allotment-Holders
Flowers are fascinating by their perfume and their beauty; fruit is alluring by its form, colour, toothsome qualities, and uses: it is not surprising therefore that both fruits and flowers are being increasingly cultivated. It is most desirable that there should be a further extension in those delightful home pursuits; but not in the smallest degree less desirable is it that Vegetables should have all the attention that their commanding merits deserve. It is gratifying to know that their value is becoming more and more recognised. For a long time they were assigned a relatively low place in Horticultural exhibitions, whereas now they form a prominent feature at many, while lectures on Vegetables are largely attended by interested audiences.
