Suburban Gardens

By T W Henslow Geoffrey

First published in 1934, "Suburban Gardens" is a vintage guide to gardening that focuses on smaller gardens attached to suburban houses. It offers the reader a comprehensive handbook on gardening, containing chapters on everything from planning a suburban garden to creating rock gardens, deterring pests, and even participating in horticultural exhibitions. With simple instructions and useful illustrations and photographs, this volume constitutes a must-have for suburban gardeners and others with limited gardening space. Contents include: "The Greenhouse", "Garden Planning", "Lawns and Paths", "The Rock and Water Garden", "Trees and Shrubs", "Annuals and Perennials from Seed", "Bulbs", "The Herbaceous Border", "The Rose Garden", "The Fruit Garden", "The Vegetable Garden", "Fungoid and Insect Pests", "Garden Ornaments", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of gardening.
