Rock Gardening for Amateurs

First published in 1914, this volume contains a beginner-friendly guide to designing, creating, and maintaining a wonderful rock garden.
"Rock Gardening for Amateurs" includes chapters on everything from the perfect plants and shrubs for rock gardens to bordering, ponds, wall gardening, and beyond. With easy-to-follow directions and useful pictures, this handy guide is perfect for amateurs and would make for a worthy inclusion in gardening collections. Contents include: "The Aim of a Rock Garden", "Rock-Garden Flowers", "Making the Rock Garden", "Planting and General Hints", "The Summer Care of Alpine Plants", "The Winter Care of Alpine Plants", "Alpine Flowers from Seeds", "Increasing Alpines by Division Cuttings", "Shrubs for the Rock Garden", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of gardening.
