The Study of Horticulture (Classic Reprint) -J C Blair Book

Excerpt from The Study of Horticulture Turning from the wild places where Nature gardens for herself, to the farms all about us, we find that not, all those who live on farms engage ln the same pursuits for earning a living. They may all be farmers in the broad sense of the term - but one 1s a stockgrower, another raises corn and other grains, while still another devotes his energy to grow1ng fruit or vegetables - or both. Of the latter you will hear it said that he 1s a horticulturist. Now this series of lessons is to treat of horticulture, and you will probably wonder if anything with so long a name can possibly, be made interesting.
