Excerpt from The Book of the Garden, Vol. 2 of 2: Cultural Works on Practical Gardening have, for the most part, been arranged in the calender form, no doubt with a View to render them, in the estimation of their authors, more convenient for reference. There are, however, objections to this mode of arrangement, which we think may be avoided by adopting the sectional or separate garden division, as the operations in any of these departments may be carried on irrespective of the others - a mode of culture which is, in fact, practised in our largest and best-managed establishments, in all of which the subdivision of labour is found to be admirably adapted for facilitating the multifarious operations of the whole. Besides, some people have a predilection for one of these departments more than for another, and many are content with one of them only. We had hoped that a seasonal arrangement might have been adopted, and that it would have combined all the advantages of the calender form, and have avoided its principal defects. The attempt to carry out this scheme has, however, shown us that it inevitably involved a want of connection and a degree of confusion, which could not be otherwise than most embarrassing to the reader, While it necessitated an amount of repetition which would have made it impossible to comprise the cultural department of the garden in a single volume, Without sacrificing that minuteness of detail which is essential to the highest value of such a work.

Excerpt from The Book of the Garden, Vol. 1 of 2: Structural The gardens of Solomon, the earliest of which we have any certain account, are described as having been of a quad rangular form and surrounded by a high wall - the exact form and arrangement still in most general use. They con tained aviaries, wells, and streams of water, indispensable in warm climates and, in accordance with the practice of the times, a seraglio, which, according to Parkhurst the commentator, was at once a temple of worship and Of pleasure.
