Laboratory Manual Of Horticulture - With Illustrations Of Methods, Equipment, And Apparatus

About this book

This early work on laboratory horticulture is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It contains details on the fundamental principles of horticulture and includes numerous experiments for students of the subject. This is a fascinating work and is thoroughly recommended for anyone interested in laboratory horticulture. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
