About This Item
New York:: A. T. De La Mare Company,. G+/NONE. 1922. Hardback. Hardback first edition with moderate wear to green cloth covers, including edgewear/ rubbing and small spots. Hinges uncracked; pages tight, with occasional underlining, marks in margins (not obtrusive). No DJ. 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. 201 pages with index, many interesting photos of Southern gardens and homes. ; .
