"Pictorial Gardening" is a simple and profusely-illustrated guide to gardening intended for beginners and others with little previous experience. Written in simple language, it contains easy-to-follow directions coupled with photographs of each stage, making it perfect for those looking for an introduction to some of the more basic elements of gardening including planting, pruning, taking cuttings, digging, pest control, and much more. Contents include: "Preparing Timber for Arches, Pergolas, and Screens", "Constructing Archways, Pergolas, etc.", "Border Management", "Preparing Borders for Winter", "Spring Attentions to the Border", "When Border Plants are Lifted", "Limiting Border Plant Shoots", "Mulching the Border", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
