Drawing on his two years of farming experience on Long Island, William Cobbett-an influential British journalist and passionate gardener-presents timeless principles for cultivating a diverse array of fruits, vegetables, and flowers in North America in his pioneering work, The American Gardener (1819). One of the earliest horticultural books published in the United States, Cobbett's delightfully opinionated, charming explanations and descriptions offer today's gardeners both practical gardening advice and an entertaining reading experience. This Warbler Classics annotated edition includes a detailed biographical timeline and an index of key terms.
