About This Item
New York:: A. T. De La Mare Company,. G+/NONE. 1922. Hardcover. Signed by Dillon and inscribed to previous owner. Often regarded as the first book written exclusively on gardening in the South, "The Blossom Circle" is a must for serious Southern gardeners and landscapers. Deaf at an early age, Dillon turned to gardening, making her mark as Southern garden editor of Home & Garden magazine from 1911-1916 and as city landscape architect in Sumter, South Carolina. She was a native of Augusta, Georgia, the "Garden City of the South, " so named by Dillon and a description still in use today by the city, whose homes and gardens figure prominently in this volume. Green cloth covers lightly shelfworn, soiled ; front color photo intact; gilt lettering shows only very mild color loss. Contents tight but foxed, mostly at endpapers. Hinges sound, uncracked. 201 pages with index, many interesting photos of Southern gardens and homes. One of the nicest copies we've had of this interesting book and the only signed copy we've seen. ; .
