Octavo, 319 pp., Dust Jacket is wrapped in a fresh mylar sleeve. Small edge tear to top of spine jacket. Scarce to find this title in jacket. From the preface: The first part of the book describes "such facts of gardening and gardening procedure as are requisite to know before you pass from the neophyte stage.The second part is devoted to the diversities of garden practice, and in this, I trust, will be found suggestions and information useful and stimulating for both beginners and seasoned flower lovers. Only outdoor flowers have been considered, since growing flowers under glass is quite another story. The language of this book is intentionally casual. I do not believe in taking gardening too seriously. "Richardson Wright (1887-1961) was the editor in chief of House & Garden for more than thirty-five years and one of the most prolific horticultural writers in the early part of the twentieth century.
