Vegetable Cultivation In Hong Kong

The primary object of vegetable gardening is the achievement of optimum growth in the minimum time. Every gardener should therefore understand, in outline, the principles which determine the growth of plant cells and tissues before he studies, in more detail, the special conditions required by particular types of plants. This antique text sets out to do just that, with a particular focus on growing vegetables in Japan. Complete with detailed information and helpful illustrations, this book will be of much interest to both seasoned and novice vegetable gardeners. The chapters of this book include: 'Principles of Gardening', 'The Physical Chemical and Biological Properties of the Soil', 'Essential Elements and Fertilizers', 'The Food Values of Vegetables', 'Pests and Their Control', 'Weeds', 'Hedges', 'Literature', 'Experimental Work', 'Climatological Work', 'Climatological Data', 'Salads', 'Spinaches', etcetera. We are proud to be republishing this antique text now complete with a new introduction on vegetable gardening.
