In thousands of years of tilling the soil, we have created a great
variety of garden tools to dig, cut scrub, harrow fields, and trim
borders. What makes the tools unique, and collectible, is the way
function has dictated form, resulting in not only ingenious shapes,
but artistic ones. In the 19th and early 20th centuries garden tool
catalogs listed hundreds of task-specific tools including dibbers,
mattocks, potato hoes, onion hoes, daisy grubbers, claws, weeders,
forcers, straighteners, garden row markers, garden reels, rakes,
watering cans, water tanks, lawn mowers, lawn rollers, weed
whackers, and many many more. This book looks back at two hundred
years of garden history, and attempts to identify the tools and
accessories that gardeners used, and as much as possible identify
their specific functions. With over 750 color photographs, concise
captions, and a guide to prices in today's antique marketplace,
this is a useful as well as beautiful exploration of garden
implements.
