"The Practical Garden-Book" by Charles Elias Hunn is a gardening guide from the early 1900s that gives easy-to-follow advice on growing everyday plants around the house and in the garden.

Bailey's introduction talks about how important gardening is to feeling connected to your home because it lets you show your creativity.
