270 pages including index. Frontis is black and white plate of author with Luther Burbank, John Burroughs and Edith Simonds. Unmarked. "There are plenty of garden books giving all the facts - for reference... This book is for consecutive reading. The important facts are here, too, but sugar-coated with wise and witty remarks and spiced with anecdotes and other things that suggest the perfuned atmosphere of the gardedn and appeal to the garden maniac... The world's most famous gardener, Luther Burbank, wrote to the author of this book that its chapters are, in his opinion, "The best that have so far been written on garden subjects. You get the facts in such a pleasing, human way that they are irresistible." - from page xiii. Chapters include: Educated Strawberries and Burbank Plums; Commercial Value of Burbank's Creations; Japanese Burbanks and Morning-Glories; Must We Raise Our Own Fruits Too?; Do Apples Keep the Doctor Away?; Why Not Grow Papaws, America's Most Delicious Fruit?; The Retired Rich Need Not Die; The Joys of Creative Gardening.

139 pages. Idaho's fabulous resources, from its wild bounties and rich agricultural produce, inspired the recipes that appear in these pages.

Covers wild game and game birds as well as domestic meats, trout, catfish, bass and most other fish caught in Idaho's 16,000 miles of fish streams and lakes. Idaho's famous potatoes, beans, dried split peas and lentils, its wild rice, fruits and home-garden vegetables are showcased by recipes contributed by people throughout the state to marke Idaho's hundredth year of abundant good life.
