Summary

This little treatise is intended as a guide to young gardeners especially, to seek for the reasons on which the operations of their daily practice are founded, and by which they are regulated. There can be no doubt that there is much to be learned, so is there but little question that there is also much to be unlearned, in the present state of the science of horticulture; and these pages are offered without hesitation, as a mite among the accumulating mass of available information on gardening subjects; and in the hope that some amongst those who are seeking to extend their knowledge, may at least be stimulated by their perusal, if they are not otherwise directly benefited.
Available since: 12/20/2019.

    The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath is a novella by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. Begun probably in the autumn of 1926, the draft was completed on January 22, 1927 and it remained unrevised and unpublished in his lifetime. It is both the longest of the stories that make up his Dream Cycle and the longest Lovecraft work to feature protagonist Randolph Carter. Along with his 1927 novel The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, it can be considered one of the significant achievements of that period of Lovecraft's writing. The Dream-Quest combines elements of horror and fantasy into an epic tale that illustrates the scope and wonder of humankind's ability to dream.

"Coleman with his jumping frog---bet stranger $50...... ---stranger had no frog & C got him one---in the meantime stranger filled C's frog full of shot and he couldn't jump---the stranger's frog won." 
 Little did Clemens know that this would be the source for his short story that would launch his career as one of America's greatest authors. The story was first published in the New York weekly, The Saturday Press, which gained Twain national attention.
