Everyday Gardening by J Coutts
 
The position formerly held by the author at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and that of the editor, has enabled them to understand to the fullest degree the needs of the practical gardener, and when their unique horticultural knowledge is also taken into account, it will be realized that they are exceptionally qualified to write an accurate, practical and up-to-date book covering every phase of gardening.
 
Everyday Gardening tells in simple, straightforward language, in which technical terms are reduced to a minimum, how to plan and make a modern garden and how to maintain it. It embodies the very latest horticultural methods and recommends the newest and most desirable varieties of flowers, shrubs, vegetables and fruit trees.
The first aim of the author and the editor has been to ensure accuracy and up-to-dateness, secondly they have striven for comprehensiveness, and the publishers feel confident that the book will prove of the greatest value to gardeners, whether tyros or "old hands" , for from their own extended experience the author and the editor have been able to judge of the points upon which the readers will be most likely to require advice.
