Rich soil need not mean an expensive fertilizer bill. This anonymous guide from a Philadelphia seed house teaches cheap manuring and quick cash crops, starting with how to make the soil rich for little money. Frugal, profit-minded market-garden advice from 1898. Grow fast, saleable crops on a shoestring and pocket the difference.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
