A Sahib's Manual for the Mali
Synopsis
The average mali we have seems unable to appreciate the difference between light watering, heavy watering flooding and drowning he being most adept at the last, for his commonest error is to lay the hose in a comer and leave it till the water has filled the bed entirely. Overflowed and watered the adjacent lawn and nearby road indiscriminately. Amateur gardeners, armchair gardeners, and those who like gardens but cannot tell phlox from petunia: Sydney Percy-Lancaster’s delightful guide is for everyone. Because it explains not only the What and the How but also the all-important Why, this is one of the most comprehensive and educative books on gardening in India. Even as it dispenses practical gardening tips, the leisurely charm of Percy-Lancaster's writing evokes an India for away and long ago. Percy-Lancaster takes us through garden work month by month: open the book to the pages for the month you are in, follow his advice, and whatever open space you have – terrace or balcony, kitchen window or rambling lawn – will be full of leaf and flower.
