Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from My Vineyard at Lakeview
When I first took up rural pursuits as my vocation, I Was not altogether unacquainted with the theories and principles which pertain to them. From my boyhood, I have always had a great fondness for gardening, and all labor incident to country life. When learning my trade in the Village printing office, I took great delight in read ing all the agricultural and horticultural exchanges. My companion apprentice, Bob, as we called him then, always thought it stupid to read papers of that kind, preferring, for himself, to follow up with great care all political con troversies, and taking great delight at the complete sum mersaults which expert politicians (in those days) some times found it convenient to make. Many of these horticultural publications I took possession of, by permis sion of the editor, and carefully preserved. I now consider them one of the important features of my little library.
