"First published in 1942, A Southern Garden continues to be an indispensable guide for gardeners in the South and indeed in all parts of Zone 8, from Richmond to the West Coast. Using her own gardens and those of her neighbors, she has gathered practical ideas for this handbook for many years. Here can be found what to plant (the common and scientific names for each flower are given), where to get it, when and where to plant it, and how much to nurse it. Tables giving the blooming dates of more than eight hundred plant varieties, recorded over a period of years, are indispensable to garden plans. The author takes us through the cycle of seasons, telling us which plants are most suitable for bloom in the Middle South's mild winters, in the long springs, in the hot, dry summers, and in the slow climax of autumns."
