Onward and Upward in the Garden
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
These 14 pieces by Katharine White first appeared in the pages of the New Yorker and were posthumously collected by her husband, E. B. White. They are at once as formal as an English manor house garden, as sensible as the Burpee seed catalog, and twice as delightful as either.

Review
"You don't have to be a gardener to love this collection of essays. White observes that a talent for the soil and a taste for writing and editorializing often go together, and she proves it-creating her own distinctive voice in the process." -Newsweek "Onward and Upward in the Garden is quite a bit more than a book about flowers. It is itself a bouquet, the final blooming of an extraordinary sensibility." -The New York Times "[This collection] can be savored by the reader whose closest acquaintance with nature is the vorner florist. It is a heady compost of observation, taste, wit, and scholarship." -Time
