Little Gardens for Boys and Girls

A darling little introduction to gardening for the younger set. With photographic illustrations of children toiling in their garden patches. Higgins writes "This little book has been written out of my own experience in trying to help hundreds of boys and girls to find the true value of gardening. It is written for the larger number of boys and girls who have neither greenhouses nor old established gardens, and I have hoped to answer some of the questions which I have been obliged to answer orally many times." Wonderful embossed cover - a perfect gift for the budding gardener in your life!

Octavo, hardcover embossed.
Very good condition, spine slightly rubbed.
