To every house a garden is attached, and none of the misery of big cities is to be seen.
And wherever the village-community spirit is maintained, the small industries persist, while no effort is spared to bring the small plots under higher culture.
It is a fact that chemical manures, without organic manure, seldom prove to be sufficient.
Every farmer is more or less of a gardener, and he gives free scope to his inventive powers for devising some cheap type of greenhouses.
