Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the cultivation of exotic fruits and plants in the 18th and 19th centuries, specifically their cultivation in hot-houses. The author challenges readers to see these structures not simply as aids in producing produce out of season, but also as valuable tools in the scientific study of such plants. Readers are guided through the process of growing a variety of exotic plants in hot-houses given the limitations of the time, with thorough explanations of soil preparation, temperature control, and the management of air and water, based on the author's own empirical research. The author's detailed descriptions and insights into the natural inclinations of plants and how best to support their growth offer a fascinating glimpse into the history of botanical science.
