| Summary | "The Field and Garden Vegetables of America" by Fearing Burr is a comprehensive agricultural reference written in the mid-19th century. This manual serves to provide detailed descriptions of nearly eleven hundred vegetable species and varieties, along with instructions on their propagation, cultivation, and usage. It is likely aimed at both novice and experienced gardeners looking to enhance their understanding of various vegetables and how to grow them successfully. At the start of this volume, the author outlines his intentions and methodology for compiling the information on various vegetables. He emphasizes the need for a resource that consolidates details about the diverse characteristics of vegetables—such as size, form, and quality—offering an insight into their cultivation and use. The opening portion introduces specific plants, beginning with the beet, providing information on its cultivation practices, soil requirements, and general uses in cooking and livestock feeding. Burr’s meticulous attention to the cultivation process establishes a foundation for readers eager to deepen their horticultural knowledge. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
