The first four decades of the 20th century provided the average American with the best magazines published in this country, as well as our most distinguished garden writing. These journals had a formative influence on American culture. Many of their garden articles were by renowned authors, but some of the best were by amateurs who wrote about their gardens with enthusiasm & intelligence. Over 50 of these marvels of garden prose are included here. Chapters from: Wild Gardens & Formal Gardens to A Year in the Garden & The Philosophical Gardener. Includes photos from the articles themselves, as well as a color plate section reproducing 21 glorious magazine covers.
