About this book
A preliminary part of Gervase Markham's husbandry manual says what a husbandman is, where his house should stand, how the plough is built and tuned, and how to plough each soil: black clay, white clay, red sand, white sand and gravel. The first part goes on to manuring, planting corn, choosing seed and bringing in harvest; the second turns to orchards, nurseries, grafting, vines, cider and perry, and the hop garden, with woods as well. It is dedicated to Lord Clifton and keeps early seventeenth-century spelling.
