"The American Flower Garden Directory" by Robert Buist is a horticultural guide written in the early 19th century. This manual provides practical directions for cultivating plants across various settings, including hot-houses, greenhouses, flower gardens, and indoors, tailored to the needs of the American climate. The book encompasses instructions for caring for a range of plants, with a focus on the specifics of soil, the best growth conditions, seasonal guidance for transplanting, and lists of desirable plants for various gardens. The opening of this guide presents a preface by the authors, Hibbert and Buist, explaining the motivation behind creating a practical manual for flower cultivation, especially for amateur gardeners. They emphasize a straightforward approach that distills their extensive horticultural experience into accessible guidance. The preface sets the tone for the reader, acknowledging that while the book may not present revolutionary content, it aims to simplify and make gardening more attainable for all, particularly reflecting the burgeoning interest in floriculture within early 19th-century America. It also outlines the book's structure as a monthly calendar for gardening tasks, indicating a chronological approach to plant care throughout the year.
