The Star Garden Book by Wilbur H. and Alice S. Youngman, 1951

The Star Garden Book by Wilbur H. and Alice S. Youngman was published by The Evening Star in 1951 as a complete garden helper "written expressly for Washington, D.C. and nearby Maryland and Virginia" in 1951.

"The STAR, recognizing the desire of homeowners to have attractively planted grounds, beautiful flowers and productive gardens, presents the accepted cultural practices for the Washington area, together with the name and varieties of commonly grown species, as an aid to achieving this worthwhile objective. Gardening is not only a fascinating hobby for the individual, it is also a constructive activity which benefits the entire community."

Softcover with 91 pages, including illustrations, and measuring approximately 9" x 12".  Some discoloration from age.

Ideal for the any gardener interested in a look at mid-century gardening in the DC/Maryland/Virginia regions.
