Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Amateur's Guide and Flower-Garden Directory: Containing Every Requisite Detail for the Successful Cultivation of the Flower-Garden The love of Nature affords us the purest delight and is implanted in the human breast. While contemplating the wonders of the vegetable kingdom, we instinctively how before her shrine and are forced to acknowledge her sovereignty. "Flowers, of all created things, are the most innocent - simple and the most complex -playthings for childhood and ornaments for the grave." Nature is most lavish in her gifts, and in order to appreciate and enjoy them, we should listen to her voice and study well her teachings, for they will surely inculcate a tone of refinement, afford pleasant and healthful employment, and give us exalted views of her Creator. With a view of being instrumental in inducing some, at least, to partake of the pleasures which the practical study of Floriculture imparts, and to the repeated demands of kind friends, the present little volume is presented to the public. Numerous and excellent have been the works written on Floriculture, yet they are generally unsuited to the wants of the Amateur, for should ho have occasion to consult their pages upon an emergency - being written, in most cases, for the guidance of the scientific Florist - he either cannot understand them or fails to find the information which he seeks. In order to remedy this deficiency, in part, the author has been induced to embody his practical experience in the management of the Flower-Garden; and, in the arrangement of the work, he has endeavored to present, in a clear and available manner, every necessary detail, thereby obviating, or removing to some extent, the difficulties which the Amateur encounters in the works referred to.
