The Well-Tempered Garden Expanded Updated Edition by Christopher Lloyd (1985) (L72b4) HC

This is a book for gardeners of all degrees of experience, from rank beginners to experts. Beginning with the absolute basics - planting, manuring, pruning, weeding, staking and dead-heading - Lloyd proceeds to various ways of propagating plants, to different kinds of plants - annuals, biennials, perennials, shrubs, climbers, bulbs - to the many kinds of garden one may have. He takes delight in "planned and unplanned garden effects," in color and in scent. He rejoices in the unexpected. A section in "the fallible plant" is followed by one on "the fallible gardener." There is entire section on roses. But he is concerned with fruits and vegetables as well as flowers and shrubbery. And his own enthusiasm on all subjects horticultural is infectious.
