Home vegetable gardening from A to Z, with special reference to Pacific coast conditions
A 1918 gardening manual by Adolph Kruhm, published by Doubleday, Page & Company in Garden City, New York, aimed at home growers, with particular attention to Pacific coast conditions. The photographs are plain black-and-white halftones of harvested root vegetables and leafy greens, staked tomato vines, rows of crops beside a house, and a dense bed of tall plants. A designer might take from them the straightforward documentary look of early twentieth-century garden photography, with its tight framing and unstaged produce.
