Excerpt from Market Nursery Work, Vol. 3: A Series of Six Books, on the Cultivation, of Crops for MarketThere is a glamour about the rose which, even to the oldest rosarian, makes a strong appeal, and might perhaps tell against that purely commercial Spirit in which we desire to deal with our subject. Seeing, however, that it is now some twenty years since we used to gird up our loins and join in the fray at the Crystal Palace and elsewhere, mementoes of which we still value, we are able to detach ourselves entirely from the sentimental and concentrate on the practical.Still, the old love for the rose burns in us as strong as ever, and this is all to the good, for it makes our present task a labour of love, and will enable us to transfuse some of the rose Spirit into these pages.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

About the Book Economic history involves the study of economies or economic phenomena rooted in the past. Economic history analysis is undertaken using a number of historical methods, statistical methods and require the application of economic theory to historical situations and institutions. Topics include financial and business history, which overlap with areas of social history such as demography and labor history. Many early books on economic history described businesses, economies or industries, with relatively less emphasis on econometrics or theoretical analyses.

Excerpt from Market Nursery Work, Vol. 1: A Series of Six Books, on the Cultivation, of Crops for MarketAmong those who are prone to generalise rather than to reason there is a widely prevailing idea that the principal difference between a nurseryman and a private gardener is one o rough and ready methods as distinct from those of a careful and even a fastidious character. Nothing could well be wider of the mark, and our first step must be to dissipate that fallacy and impress upon all who read these lines the fact that the great nursery establishments of our land are not only not built up on any but precise and scientific methods, but that any attempt to run them on rough and ready lines would most indubitably bring about their undignified appearance in the Bankruptcy Court.The really fundamental difference between the gardener and the nurseryman is purely economic. It is quite safe to say, that prior to 1914 the private gardener, in his laudable anxiety to produce things as nearly perfect as possible, could pursue all necessary operations without being too violently brought into contact with the question of cost, and though he finds his liberty somewhat curtailed in the present days, this still holds good to a certain extent. At the worst, he has only to clear expenses; he is not expected to show a profit. The nurseryman, on the contrary, while turning out products of equal perfection, has to do so with a strict regard to costs, and these must, under no circumstances, exceed that point at which current market selling prices permit him to show a reasonable. Margin of profit. To the one, then, the cost of production is, to say the least, a subsidiary matter; to the other, it is absolutely vital - a distinction with a very appreciable difference.It is well that everyone who aspires to be either a nurseryman or a responsible nursery employee should appreciate the fact that, primarily, he must grow for profit and not for pleasure.Another distinctive feature is that of Quantities. Where the private gardener thinks in terms of dozens and hundreds, the nurseryman thinks in terms of thousands - the gardener knows the limits of his requirements, the nurseryman is ever striving to expand his limits, and his products must keep pace with his expansion. The mind of each habituates itself to the position - one within defined limits, the other enormously elastic.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
