Description

The World in Your Garden, a publication of the National Geographic Society, is divided into 3 parts: The World in Your Garden; Our Vegetable Travelers; and How Fruit Came to America. Sources of many of our plants came from other parts of the world. Many colored illustrations and photographs are included in the book. There is also a section on flower arranging. Plant explorers have "scoured far hinterlands for new and useful plants." There is also some reference to plants which were considered medicinal rather than edible. 231/Hardbound/Illustrations/Photographs/Maps
