Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Flower Garden, or Monthly Calendar of Practical Directions for the Culture of Flowers Garden ensures a pretty general knowledge of its management. I cannot create a florist by a stroke of my pen, any more than I can make a neat gardener in a summary way, out of a common laborer, who never had a rake in his hand. That the present hints should be presented in Calen dar form, appears advisable, to avoid confusion, and to bring the respective flowers, and their culture, under immediate consideration, at the precise time they ought to meet attentio'n; and as in the Kitchen Garden I made that form to commence with the month of November, SO likewise may the Floral year, with great propriety, be considered to begin with the same month, the culture of its earliest products being then to be attended to, and preparation made for their appear ance in the following spring.
