Charles Dudley Warner
Plots are no more exhausted than men are. Every man is a new creation, and combinations are simply endless.
Charles Dudley Warner
I do not know the names of all the weeds and plants, I have to do as Adam did in his garden... name things as I find them.
Charles Dudley Warner
Blessed be agriculture! if one does not have too much of it.
