Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Gardening for New Zealand: With Chapters on Poultry and Bee-Keeping In compiling this little work on "Gardening in New Zealand" an attempt has been made to collect the greatest amount of useful information which could be condensed within its limits, at the same time rendering such information as full and practicable as possible, so that the most inexperienced may with its assistance carry on the various operations of the several departments of the garden with every prospect of success. I do not claim much originality for the work, except in so far as my own experience, extending over many years in the Old Country and in the Colonies, enables me to determine the difference between the Home seasons and those of this country. Although we are at the antipodes of England, it does not follow that the seasons are exactly opposite. In New Zealand the growing season extends over a period of nine months, while in England it may be said not to exceed seven months. Up to the present time no attempt has been made to produce a comprehensive manual of Gardening suitable to our requirements. It is true that calendars abound, and weekly instructions, but these fragmentary efforts (good so far as they go) do not enter sufficiently into details to be of much service to those persons who know little of the subject, but who, nevertheless, take pleasure in the growth of flowers, fruit, and vegetables. Much of the information embraced in the chapters of this work has been gleaned from the best authorities on the subjects treated of.
