The Ideal Garden. H.H.Thomas. Cassell & Company, 1911. 3rd. edition.
No one reaches his ideal, moral or material, but it is a good thing to aim at it. So Mr. Thomas’s book will be found useful even to those who are hampered by narrow space, unfavourable conditions of atmosphere, and other evils. He tells us what plants to grow, as creepers or other, and how to grow them. He discusses such difficult problems as the bedding-out system.
