Vintage intensive gardening smallholding 1878 FA
Multum In Parvo Gardening by Samuel Wood 1878 VGC
I have to confess here to not knowing what Multum in Parvo means but the book is a manual for those wishing to grow the maximum amount of produce on a small piece of land by traditional methods. It is divided into Part 1 - How to make one acre of land without glass, produce by the cultivation of fruits and vegetables 620 pounds per annum clear profit. Part two - similar set up but with flowers under glass.also a section on pest eradication and potato cultivation.Very detailed advice with some interesting tactics! Scarce old gardening manual. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MESE%3AIT&rd=1 |
