- W4243661080 abstract "Abstract Abstract Before the Revolution, colonial Chesapeake gardeners looked to England for instruction books on how to garden as well as for many seeds and plants themselves, which they often ordered through British agents in trade for tobacco or other goods. While English gardening books continued to dominate the American market until the early nineteenth century, the sale of seeds and plants changed dramatically in the Chesapeake as a result of the war. The Revolution and the growth of urban economies gave rise to new commercial gardening ventures, nurseries and seed stores, operated by professional gardeners who initially imported and then grew their own seed and plant stock. These professional artisans also retained staffs to lay out and maintain the gardens of others under contract. Contemporary newspaper notices, advertising catalogues, and estate inventories accurately reflect the plant stock and services offered by these establishments. Chesapeake gardeners, who had traditionally traded seeds and plants with neighbors and friends on both sides of the Atlantic, began to patronize capitalistic seed merchants and nurserymen. These businessmen aggressively advertised their wares to a public increasingly concerned with the status of the ornamental in addition to the utilitarian aspects of their gardens. Leisure time was growing in the new nation, and the gentry as well as their less wealthy neighbors could now find the time to indulge in an avocation such as pleasure gardening." @default.
