Lawson, a Yorkshire clergyman, wrote from long experience of growing fruit in the north of England. He covers the gardener and his wages, soil, site, fences, planting, grafting and pruning, and the enemies of an orchard from deer to moles. The volume also contains The Country Housewife’s Garden and Simon Harward’s treatise on propagating plants.
A charming early classic of English gardening, still quoted by historians of the garden. Download the free EPUB.
