Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of essays about the beauty and bounty of Canadian seasons, especially as experienced in the land that will one day be Ontario. The author was a pioneer and a fruit-grower who believed that Canada's abundant resources were largely untapped when it came to horticulture. This, he believed, was due to a lack of knowledge and experience in cultivating the land. In this book, the author draws from a deep well of historical knowledge and literary references to address various themes: the importance of environmental stewardship, the rewards of hard work, and the changing ways of life in a society that is rapidly growing and developing. The author's prose is often humorous and even playful, reflecting the joy he found in his life's work. This book is an important historical document that provides a unique perspective on the Victorian era, when these essays were written, and offers a valuable contribution to the history of Canadian agriculture.
