This book contains volume II of H. H. Thomas's simple guide to gardening, "Gardening For Amateurs". Within it, Thomas gives an overview of many aspects of gardening from creating beautiful window and rock gardens to vegetable gardening for profit. Written in simple, clear language and profusely illustrated, this handy volume is highly recommended for beginners and would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Rock Gardening", "What you do Early in September", "Hydrangea", "Window Gardening", "A Selection of Favourite Bulbs", "What to do Late in September", "Self-clinging Climbing Plants", "Planting a Hardy Flower Border", "Flower Garden Herbs", "Giant Plants for the Outdoor Garden", "Insect Enemies and Friends and Plant Diseases", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. 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.
