Long out of print, to the dismay of Mitchell's new and old fans, the book the New York Times called "the most soul-satisfying gardening book in years" is at last reissued. Although Mitchell offers invaluable tips for novices and seasoned gardeners, readers take particular delight in his opinionated observations--witty, urbane, and fascinating.

Seller's Description:
Very Good. Size: 8x5x0; Gardeners disagree about many things--cannas, double petunias, the color magenta--but on one subject they are unanimous. Henry Mitchell was simply the best garden writer this country has ever produced. When his first collection, The Essential Earthman, was published, Mitchell became the national treasure he deserved to be. As Lacy writes, These books will continue to find and delight new readers long into the coming century, for they are classics.

Seller's Description:
Like New. Size: 8x5x0; This first collection of Henry Mitchell's garden columns was one of those instant classics, a book which quickly earned a permanent place on thousands of bedside tables. Though written for the Washington Post, these tales of the city garden travel well. This book, often dog-eared and battered, is found in gardeners' homes all across the U.S. --not just in the South, but in Minnesota, Alaska, and the other Washington. After reading a single page--any page--you'll realize why. Many gardeners quote Mitchell's line, It is a great joy the day we discover that we can learn things without actually having to make the mistakes ourselves. He regales us with his mistakes, recording the frustration caused by stubbornly planting where his beloved dogs insisted on sleeping or by thoughtless activity (I speared a superb lily bulb today), hoping we will profit from his own gardening mishaps. We can and do, but we profit just as much by his company as his advice, which is so clearly the fruit of long and direct experience.
