Description

First published in 1856 and now back in print, The American Gardener is a seminal work of American gardening literature. William Cobbett's two-year experience on a Long Island farm informs his practical advice on gardening for American farmers.

Cobbett shares his knowledge of the artichoke and potato, among other plants well-suited to the New World climate. His writing offers guidance still relevant today on all aspects of gardening, with a focus on the unique conditions found in America.

This Modern Library edition features a new introduction by Verlyn Klinkenborg, providing context for Cobbett's work and highlighting its enduring value.
