The Liberty Hyde Bailey Gardener’s Companion: Essential Writings

This earnest collection will likely introduce Bailey's name to a new generation of gardeners and reacquaint older ones with the ideas of a justly celebrated master. * Publishers Weekly * Bailey's writing reflects his deep desire to educate... because he so wanted to share the joy he felt for plants and gardening with anyone who would listen.
