About The Book : Vegetable -GARDENING, or olericulture, is the art and business of raising kitchen - garden vegetables, and the applications of the various sciences thereto. The term kitchen - garden vegetable, or 'vegetable" in the gardener's sense, is impossible of definition. It is approximately true to say that the term applies to the edible part of an annual or at least an herbaceous plant. Vegetables are not often used in the dessert, and therefore belong more properly to the kitchen than do the fruits. There is exception to this in the melon; and it is significant that this is often included with the fruits by European writers. The only complete idea of the use of the term is to be obtained from a detailed catalogue of the products which are called vegetables, and this inventory will be found on a later page; in the meantime, it may be well to say that leading vegetables are potatoes, cabbages, onions, tomatoes, asparagus, peas, beans, cucumbers, squashes, celery, lettuce. Market- gardening is the growing of vegetables for sale. The American term truck -gardening is really synonymous, although it is sometimes used in connection with the larger market -gardening enterprises. By common consent, the whole subject of vegetable- gardening is considered to belong to that part of husbandry known as horticulture. About The Author -Liberty Hyde Bailey (March 15, 1858 – December 25, 1954) was an American horticulturist and botanist who was cofounder of the American Society for Horticultural Science.:?? Bailey is credited with being instrumental in starting agricultural extension services, the 4-H movement, the nature study movement, parcel post and rural electrification. He was considered the father of rural sociology and rural journalism. The Title 'The Principles of Vegetable-gardening written/authored/edited by L. H. Bailey', published in the year 2022.

One of the most important works of late Georgian horticulture. McIntosh made important contributions to the designs of Taymouth Castle Stratton Park Pengethley Claremont Laeken and Dalkeith. He never set out to emulate such figures as Lancelot Brown or Humphry Repton but remained at the cutting edge of contemporary horticultural techniques about which he wrote extensively; perhaps his greatest area of expertise being that of hot-house design and heating seen to great effect in this work . A landmark work in the history of practical horticulture. Some copies have the plates coloured - they are plain in this set. First Edition. Half-Leather. Good. Thomas Kelly Hardcover

One of the scarcer of Nicol's works and the first edition seems particularly elusive. Walter Nicol 1769 - 1811 was a Scottish garden and hothouse designer who wrote several books on practical horticulture. An advertisement leaf in this books mentions his terms for garden design and advice at One Guinea per day. He was born in Niddrie. He was employed at a number of estates in Scotland and improved the design and layout of gardens and glasshouses. Nicol is in particular responsible for the walled garden layout at Dalhousie Castle in Midlothian."His works which were of a very high standard became exceedingly popular" - Blanche Henrey 1178.

1828017561Edinburgh and London: John Murray 1828. Second edition greatly improved and enlarged. Illustrated with six engraved plates octavo pp xxxviii 527 sadly the plates are heavily foxed which has also affected the neighbouring page howver the remainder of the text is remarkably clean and very tight and sound; bound in a contemporary half calf rubbed rebacked sympathetically with a new calf spine. lightly tipped-in at the first page is a small advertisement leaf warning of 'sundry ignorant and uneducated persons' attempting to pass themselves off as having been trained by Henry Steuart - this seems to be scarce. Steuart 1759 - 1836 was a Scottish landowner agricultural improver soldier and classical scholar. Owing to bad health Steuart abandoned most of his literary work and experiments in arboriculture became the chief interest of his life. In September 1823 a deputation from the Highland and Agricultural Society which included Sir Walter Scott and Lords Belhaven and Corehouse visited Allanton and reported on the improvements effected there by Steuart's system of transplanting large trees. Though he had had to contend with an unfavourable soil and an exposed position he attained at no extraordinary expense the power so long desired of anticipating the slow progress of vegetation and accomplishing within two or three seasons those desirable changes in the face of nature which he who plants in early youth can in ordinary cases only hope to witness in advanced life. From this time Steuart frequently corresponded with Sir Walter who imitated several of Steuart's experiments at Abbotsford. When in 1828 Steuart published this work Scott reviewed it enthusiastically in the Quarterly March. When Scott visited Allanton in January 1829 in company with Lockhart he noted in his journal: Sir Henry is a sad coxcomb and lifted beyond the solid earth by the effect of his book's success. But the book well deserves it. The book was also favourably reviewed by Southwood Smith in the Westminster Review by Professor Wilson Christopher North in Blackwood's Magazine April 1828 and in the Edinburgh Review March 1829. It had a large circulation in America. In his preface to the second edition Steuart claims to have made the first attempt to apply the principles of physiology to practical arboriculture and to have created the new science of phytology.
