The little garden

King, Francis, Mrs., 1863-1948 · 1921 · Boston, The Atlantic monthly press · 14 pictures

A practical gardening handbook by Louisa Yeomans King (Mrs. Francis King), published in Boston by the Atlantic Monthly Press in 1921 for American owners of small home grounds. Its plates are high-contrast halftone photographs of paths, flower borders, hedges, benches and picket fences under heavy shadow, with a few brushy line drawings of garden corners and bed layouts; useful for coarse-grain foliage textures, silhouetted planting masses and simple fence and path diagrams.
