Angier, Belle Sumner. Garden book of California; decorations by Spencer Wright. *$2. Elder.
7–1485.
Believing that the garden of the world is California, the author shows its limitless possibilities for genuine and heart-satisfying home-building. The garden as a factor in home-making, garden methods, the planting-time, the culture of all varieties of plants, tree-planting and protection, insecticides and plant diseases, backyard problems, and out-of-door living rooms, all come in for generous attention.
“Tells many things that the new-comer to California, if interested in gardening, will wish to know.”

“The author knows her subject well, is perfectly familiar with the flowers, shrubs and trees that can be well grown under the conditions of irrigation, and her instructions are pertinent, practical and clearly told as the result of much experience and observation. It should be mentioned that the twenty attractive full-page illustrations of California gardening bear no particular relation to the text.”
