About this product
Product Information
In 1925 Harold Ross hired Katharine Sergeant Angell as a manuscript reader for The New Yorker . Within months she became the magazine's first fiction editor, discovering and championing the work of Vladimir Nabokov, John Updike, James Thurber, Marianne Moore, and her husband-to-be, E. B. White, among others. After years of cultivating fiction, White set her sights on a new genre: garden writing. On March 1, 1958, The New Yorker ran a column entitled "Onward and Upward in the Garden," a critical review of garden catalogs, in which White extolled the writings of "seedmen and nurserymen," those unsung authors who produced her "favorite reading matter." Thirteen more columns followed, exploring the history and literature of gardens, flower arranging, herbalists, and developments in gardening. Two years after her death in 1977, E. B. White collected and published the series, with a fond introduction. The result is this sharp-eyed appreciation of the green world of growing things, of the aesthetic pleasures of gardens and garden writing, and of the dreams that gardens inspire.

Reviews
"Her writing is so wonderfully clear, so intimate...she leaves you wanting to know her thoughts of every aspect of the garden." --Jamaica Kincaid " 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 "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 "[This collection] can be savored by the reader whose closest acquaintance with nature is the corner florist. It is a heady compost of observation, taste, wit, and scholarship." -- Time "A special joy for persons of cultivation, be they connoisseurs of grandiflora or mere backyard tomato growers." -- Chicago Sun-Times, "Her writing is so wonderfully clear, so intimate...she leaves you wanting to know her thoughts of every aspect of the garden." --Jamaica Kincaid " Onward and Upward in the Garden is quite a bit more than a book about flowers.

It is a heady compost of observation, taste, wit, and scholarship." -- Time "A special joy for persons of cultivation, be they connoisseurs of grandiflora or mere backyard tomato growers." -- Chicago Sun-Times "A charming, idiosyncratic, opinionated, informative and, at times, humorous paean to the amateur pursuit of horticulture....it is the controlled discursiveness of the writing that keeps us reading, even if we don't necessarily care about varieties of roses or the care and breeding of African violets. White reels us in with her enthusiasm and her Yankee directness. When she takes a narrative side trip through the history of the lawn mower or contemplates keeping the -virus-ridden bulbs of 'broken tulips' segregated in her flowerbeds, we find ourselves eagerly reading on--whether we have a lawn ourselves or give two figs about tulips....Katharine White was indeed a delightfully gifted writer." --Robert Weibezahl, BookPage, "Her writing is so wonderfully clear, so intimate...she leaves you wanting to know her thoughts of every aspect of the garden." --Jamaica Kincaid " Onward and Upward in the Garden is quite a bit more than a book about flowers.
