The aim of this 1913 work by Thomas Smith is to supply the small-scale grower with all the information needed to maintain a productive vegetable business, from preparing the soil to marketing the vegetables.

Excerpt from The Profitable Culture of Vegetables: For Market Gardeners, Small Holders, and Others Many years of practical work in connection with market gardening and small holdings, both in actually cultivating the soil and in directing the work of others, have made me familiar with many of the needs and difficulties of those who gain their living from the cultivation of small areas of land, as well as having given me an insight into the factors which lead to success. Amongst the greatest difficulties inexperienced men have to contend with are the want of direction as to general procedure and precise advice on points of detail. Even those who may fairly lay claim to experience often find themselves in doubt on subjects outside the usual routine.
