Publisher's Synopsis
Vegetable Forcing, Parts 1-3 is a comprehensive guidebook written by Herbert G. Winkler in 1896. The book is divided into three parts, each covering different aspects of vegetable forcing. The first part provides an introduction to the concept of forcing and discusses the different methods of forcing, including hotbeds, cold frames, and greenhouses. The second part focuses on specific vegetables that can be forced, such as asparagus, rhubarb, and cucumbers. The third and final part of the book covers the practical aspects of forcing, including soil preparation, fertilization, and pest control. Winkler's book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in growing vegetables out of season or in a controlled environment, and provides detailed instructions and tips for successful vegetable forcing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
