Excerpt from California Garden-Flowers, Shrubs, Trees and Vines: Being Mainly Suggestions for Working Amateurs Thus the writer avoids the perilous heights of science whence the botanists continually bring unique and beautiful plants for common use and dispense accurate knowledge of all plants which is of great value. Thus also he avoids the miry lowlands, where the florist works with acres of glass, tons of heating iron, and pyramids of fertilizers to create monsters, which save amateurs from too great conceit in their own achievements. Between the two lie the mesas of moderate effort and moderate investment upon which anyone, with a love for it can grow in California, through the whole circle of the year, by the square foot or by the acre, as his available space may be, flowers to delight his heart, to comfort his wife and to educate his children. Great as is California in her endowment of nature's handiwork in flowers, great as is the opportunity she offers for striking achievements in the higher arts of flower-growing, unquestionably her greatest gift to her people is active participation with them in the common growing of flowers for the environment of such homes as most people can secure. It is to the promotion of this great benefit and joy that the writer aims to minister. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
