Description - American Gardener: Or, a Treatise on the Situation, Soil, Fencing and Laying-Out of Gardens; On the Making and Managing of Hot-Beds and Green-Houses; And on the Propagation and Cultivation of the Several Sorts of Vegetables, Herbs, Fruits, and Flowers by William Cobbett
British journalist William Cobbett's 1819 work is considered one of the first classics of American gardening literature, written specifically about his time farming on Long Island, New York. For modern day gardeners, Cobbett's 19th century ideas on self-reliance, family strength through agriculture, and gardening before chemicals and genetic modification are certainly timely - and organic!
