Description
Excerpt from French Market-Gardening: Including Practical Details of "Intensive Cultivation" For English Growers
Although this gospel was preached so long ago, but little advance in the art of intensive gardening has been made in the British Islands so far as vegetables and salads are concerned. During the past year or two, however, a keener interest has been awakened on the subject. Not only has the horticultural press devoted considerable attention to it, but the daily papers have also discussed the matter. Among these one especially, with characteristic enterprise, has enthusiastically praised the system, and has almost made one believe that it is quite a simple matter to make a profit of ?600 or ?700 per annum out of an acre of ground cultivated on the French system.
