Home Vegetable Gardening, by Fredrick Frye Rockwell (1884 - 1976)

Volunteers outside the USA: Fredrick Frye Rockwell died in 1976. This person's work may still be protected by copyright in countries where copyright duration is determined by the author's death date. In Europe this is 70 years; in Canada it is 50 years; and in Australia it is 70 years for authors who died after 1955.
Either as hobby or a great economic help, home vegetable gardens are valued. With spare time limited, this book is a great aid to those who want to do "practical, efficient gardening" . Mr. Rockwell, author of no less than 20 botanical books, intended to make this book the most practical, comprehensive and concise manual so that the home gardener may accomplish their cultivating desires. (Summary by Christine Rottger excerpted from Preface)

If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).
