About this book
Instructions in Gardening for Ladies is by Mrs. Loudon, who is listed as the author of The Ladies' Flower Garden, among other works. Chapter VI is headed The Kitchen-Garden and the management of culinary vegetables, and says that in almost all gardens it is customary to set apart a portion of the ground for them. The text says the best strawberries are Keen's seedling and the old pine, and that strawberries should be grown on rich loamy soil, generally in beds three feet wide, three rows in a bed.
Under the heading Tart Rhubarb, the part of the rhubarb used for making pies and puddings is given as the footstalk of the leaf. The text describes an outer circle of rocks, mostly of the red sandstone of the neighbourhood, with little niches made for plants, and says the plants are all strictly alpine. Common grafting clay is made with any kind of stiff clay mixed with a fourth part of fresh horse-dung free from litter, and a portion of cut hay.
