The American Gardener

The territory of the United States includes such a variety of climates; degrees of heat and cold so different at the same period of the year; that it is impossible to give instructions as relating to time for sowing planting and so forth that shall be applicable to every part of the country. I therefore for the most part make my directions applicable to seasons or states of the weather rather than to dates. When I make no particular mention as to limes of the year or month it is to be understood that I am supposing myself at or near the City of New York and that I am speaking of what ought to be done there. With this clearly borne in mind the reader who will know the difference in the degrees of heat and cold in the different parts of the country will know how to apply the instructions accordingly.
