Draining for Profit, and Draining for Health
Waring, George E. (George Edwin)
Drain-tiles; Drainage
It is a work for which there has long been a demand, and one which will
commend itself, not only to those who grow vegetables for sale, but to the
cultivator of the
FAMILY GARDEN,
to whom it presents methods quite different from the old ones generally
practiced. It is an ORIGINAL AND PURELY AMERICAN work, and not made up, as
books on gardening too often are, by quotations from foreign authors.
Every thing is made perfectly plain, and the subject treated in all its
details, from the selection of the soil to preparing the products for
market.
