Gardens and their meaning
A 1911 school-garden book by Dora Williams, published by Ginn and Company in Boston and New York, aimed at teachers and children working in school gardens. Its black-and-white halftone photographs show children tending vegetable beds, harvesting, and posing among plants, giving a designer plain, documentary views of early twentieth-century American schoolyard gardening, with clear figure groupings and rows of crops that suit vintage or wholesome rural themes.
