Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Book of Rarer Vegetables
The vegetables, the culture and cooking of which are discussed in this volume are not all rare in the collector's sense of the word. Rather are they for the most part vegetables which we in this country under value and under-use for the simple reason that we are ignorant of the art of raising and preparing them. A few vegetables are dealt with in this volume for no better reason than that they have not been dealt with in any other volumes of the present series of handbooks which series, it is hoped, will, as a whole, form a fairly complete library of practical gardening. For the cultural instructions in the present volume, Mr Wythes is alone responsible.
