TEALL, GARDNER CALLAHAN. Little garden the year round. il *$2.50 Dutton 716.2
20–181
“Mr Teall has had much experience as an editor of House and Garden and American Homes and Gardens to sponsor his name on a book cover. It isn’t merely a horticultural handbook that he offers, such as any enterprising seedsman might evolve for the guidance of the uninitiated; this is the work of a garden litterateur, a man who knows the flowers, knows what to say about them, and what the poets have said about them and various other things that are more or less essential ingredients of a real garden essay or a series of them. He writes ‘to convey some sense of the joys of gardening, some realization of the pleasures that find place in the heart and soul of one who combines the companionship of prose and poetry in the going about his gardening.’”—Springf’d Republican
“One somehow gets the impression from this book that a garden-maker must be completely happy—or would be if it were not for slugs, aphids, and red spiders. Mr Teall writes with contagious enthusiasm and full knowledge of his subject.”
