Your Plants Plain and Practical Directions for the Treatment of Tender and Hardy Plants in the House and in the Garden

"Your Plants" by James Sheehan is a late 19th-century gardening handbook that guides amateur gardeners through the steps of caring for different types of plants, like flowers, shrubs, and trees. It started after a conversation between the author and an experienced plant lover, and the book aims to give simple advice that wasn't easily available before. It starts with common knowledge topics like making a lawn, understanding soil, and choosing seeds, then walks readers through how to water, feed, grow new plants, and take care of them all year long, so they can have thriving gardens.
