This 1913 volume provides complete directions on intensive vegetable culture, helping home gardeners to get the most production out of their available land while maintaining high soil fertility.

Excerpt from Intensive Culture of Vegetables on the French System, 1913: With a Concise Monthly Calendar of Operations Les récoltés se succèdent de six en six semaines; et après chacune, Vhomme retrouve sa terre aussi vaillante et aussi docile qu'auparavant. Parce qu'il lui est dévoué, il la possède comme personne ne la posséda jamais, comme jamais amant ne posséda sa maîtresse. - (La Cité Chinoise - G. En g. Simon.) "Crops succeed one another every six weeks; and after each the cultivator finds his soil as productive and as workable as before. Because he is devoted to it, he esteems it as no one ever esteemed it before, and as no gallant has ever esteemed his lady love." Once the meaning of this quotation is fully understood, it will give a fair idea of the spirit that should dominate the enthusiast in the intensive culture of vegetables. The cultivator must be devoted to and interested in his work and really love the land, the mother of all wealth and production and the most important asset at his disposal.
