Excerpt from Gardening for the South, or the Kitchen and Fruit Garden: With the Best Methods for Their Cultivation, Together With Hints Upon Landscape and Flower Gardening
The necessity of a Southern work on Gardening is felt by every Horticulturist in our midst. Our seasons differ from those of the Northern States, in heat and dryness, as much as the latter do from those of England. Treatises perfectly adapted to their cli mate we are obliged to follow very cautiously. English works require the exercise of a still greater degree of judgment in the reader, the climate of England Tbeing still more cool and humid. Again, our mild winters admit of garden-work nearly every day of the year. All the heavy operations of trenching, manuring, laying out, pruning, and planting trees, shrubs, and hardy ornamental plants, are at that season most conveniently performed.
