The Country Housewife's Garden is precious to us for its attention
to the role of women: as cooks, lovers of fine flowers, and keepers
of the herbal medicine cupboard. While making many suggestions
about the practice of gardening and growing fruit trees, Lawson is
particularly interested in the layout and design of orchard and
pleasure garden. There are several fine woodcuts of knot-gardens
and various designs for flower beds. At the end of the two main
works, there are two contemporary, short pamphlets on grafting and
on picking, packing and transporting fruit. Malcolm Thick is an
agricultural historian.
