From the rear cover: "For every task throughout the year-from sowing the first beans to pruning the roses-old time gardeners knew practical, inventive ways to make their jobs easier. These supremely useful, often unorthodox tips are an inspiration to modern gardeners. Besides being a through gardening manual, A MISCELLANY OF GARDEN WISDOM will provide you with a leisurely look back at a different era."
A nice book to give or receive. For serious gardeners there are some useful nuggets of information, but this is more the type of book you would give as a gift to a beginning gardener.
