Clear definition of horticulture by G H Van Houten
Des Moines horticulturist G H Van Houten argues horticulture covers farm and home work beyond dictionaries, urging home fruit gardens, strawberry and grape culture, and careful planning. He advises small plots, basic tools, early planting, and simple methods, plus pruning, soil care, and use of manure to sustain a productive home orchard and yard.
