Barrington, IL: Countryside Books. 1974. Soft Cover. Illustrated by Jean Helmer. 79 pages, well illustrated, pictorial wraps, 8-1/2 by 11 inches, very good. From the introduction: 'Why this book was written. There are about 50 million home gardens in America today. Owners of these gardens are fortunate to have the land to grow crops. But what about the millions of people in towns, apartments and inner cities with no space for a garden? We have good news for these people. You can grow just about every vegetable, herb and fruit without a traditional garden plot. This book tells you how to raise them in containers and other small places almost anywhere and enjoy the same benefits a big garden yields. About the authors: George 'Doc' and Katy Abraham, famous for the 'Green Thumb' column in 135 U.S. and Canadian Newspapers, were named American's Number 12 garden writers in 1973 by the Men's Garden Club of America.' . more information

From the publisher: A classic of floriculture, this is the most comprehensive book ever published on geraniums, or pelargoniums - covering all kinds, from the best-known favorites to rare geraniums for collectors, and discussing every aspect of growing and caring for them in all parts ofo the country. To prepare this much-enlarged version of her previous book, Geraniums - Pelargoniums, Helen Van Pelt Wilson spent two years updating and rewriting the entire book from cover to cover, adding half again as much wholly new text and illustration. Besides being the only complete book available on geraniums, The Joy of Geraniums is also a notably readable one, based on Mrs. Wilson's long personal experience as well as extensive research and correspondence with other experts in this country and abroad. Descriptions of 393 species, varieties, and hybrids are given in the Finders Lists, and there is a wealth of outstanding illustrations - 37 photographs and 37 pages of drawings. . more information
