Garden and Gardening. The word garden etymologically means an inclosed space, and gardening is historically distinguished from agriculture by being within an inclosure of some kind instead of in the open fields. Gardening operations are usually conducted on a smaller scale than those of agriculture and by more intensive methods. Gardening and horticulture are really synonymous terms, but, by usage, a horticulturist is supposed to have a more extended training and wider range of activities than a gardener. Moreover, the word gardening now suggests more of the private, homelike and personal point of view, whereas the most distinctive feature of American horticulture is the immense commercial importance of fruit-growing on a large scale, and a marked emphasis of the professional side of a fruit-grower's work; and in later years, it is marked also by the very extensive vegetable-gardening and floricultural development. The history and discussion of gardening are, therefore, set forth in this book under Horticulture. Large private places are often divided into fruit-garden, kitchen- garden and flower-garden. Fruit-growing (which see) is the same as pomology. Kitchen-gardening, in its widest sense, is the same as vegetable-gardening (which see), or the more learned word, olericulture; but the expression kitchen-gardening is now less common, and usually indicates the private and uncommercial point of view, whereas market-gardening and truck-gardening (which are practically the same) are now the chief words used for the wholesale and commercial side of vegetable-gardening in the United States. Flower-gardening, a third primary division of gardening, is the same as floriculture (which see). Under ornamental gardening and landscape gardening are explained the two different points of view in the use of plants and flowers for their own separate values or when grouped for artistic effects, the nature-like or picturesque conception being set forth under landscape gardening, and the artificial or merely decorative styles under ornamental gardening.

It is customary to speak of gardening as the amateur and personal practice of horticulture. One makes a garden. One derives from the garden not only the plants and products that may be harvested, but also the satisfactions in plant-growing, the reaction to forms, fragrances and colors, and the gain of close contact with the out-of-doors. The first garden that one may have should be personal, for his own growth and development. Naturally, this will be in some personal or retired part of the grounds. In recent years, however, there has been a marked socialization of gardening, making it a contribution to public cleanliness and beauty and a means of educating the people. In America, this application of the gardening spirit to civic improvement has been very marked, as evidenced in the taking away of fences between adjoining properties and the development of a street as a unit. This is a great gain to public spirit and to social feeling; but this in no way interferes with the personal garden for the sheer love of it, to be grown in a place all one's own. Persons desiring to find advice on specific gardening matters, should refer to the different genera under their respective heads; also to the articles under Landscape Gardening, and to such cultural entries as Alpine Plants, Annuals, Arboriculture, Autumn Gardening, Banks, Bedding, Biennials, Border, Bulbs, Evergreens, Ferns, Herbary, House-plants, Orchids, Palms, Perennials, Rock-Gardening, Shrubbery, Spring-Gardening, Subtropical Gardening, Succulents, Vegetable-Gardening. Wall-Gardening, Water-Gardening, Kitchen-Garden, Wild-Garden, and others.
