A Woman's Hardy Garden by Helena Rutherfurd Ely
This little book is only meant to tell briefly of a few shrubs, hardy perennials, biennials and annuals of simple culture. I send it forth, hoping that my readers may find within its pages some help to plant and make their gardens grow.
Meadowburn Farm
October, 1902
Love of flowers and all things green and growing is with many men and women a passion so strong that it often seems to be a sort of primal instinct, coming down through generation after generation, from the first man who was put into a garden “to dress it and to keep it.” People whose lives, and those of their parents before them, have been spent in dingy tenements, and whose only garden is a rickety soap-box high up on a fire-escape, share this love, which must have a plant to tend, with those whose gardens cover acres and whose plants have been gathered from all the countries of the world. How often in summer, when called to town, and when driving through the squalid streets to the ferries or riding on the elevated road, one sees these gardens of [4] the poor. Sometimes they are only a Geranium or two, or the gay Petunia. Often a tall Sunflower, or a Tomato plant red with fruit. These efforts tell of the love for the growing things, and of the care that makes them live and blossom against all odds. One feels a thrill of sympathy with the owners of the plants, and wishes that some day their lot may be cast in happier places, where they too may have gardens to tend.

I purchased the kindle version. This is a great book. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was because of some language that may be offensive to certain ethic group(s). I do understand that considering when it was published that language would of been tolerated. Otherwise, I would recommend this book to anyone that just loves to home garden and would like to add other plants to their garden. I hope to be able to purchase a hard copy.Product details

Great OLD gardening book in reprint. A few errors in printing (missing page), but still a wonderful reference. This is a great reference tool for simple techniques that work. Plus the lists of turn of the century prices for supplies and labor ("my man" - I want one of those!) are fascinating.
