Vegetables and Their Cultivation #251654

The first work solely devoted to vegetable culture was, so far as we can verify, The Practical Kitchen Gardener, by Switzer, published in 1727. Here full details how to lay out a kitchen garden, grow vegetables outdoors and on hotbeds are given. From then onwards many books and pamphlets have been written, down to the present work. So much by the way. We have briefly sketched the pro gress of literature devoted to vegetables and their cultivation up to the present day. It is. Our business now to justify our reasons for placing another volume on the subject in the market.
