Description
"Not since Jefferson himself has anyone combined such love and knowledge of all that blooms and grows and bears fruit at Monticello as does Peter Hatch.... History, pomology, the mind of Thomas Jefferson, the best of many worlds in scholarship and nature, are all to be found here, as well as a number of surprises.... The book is at once thorough, authoritative, and a pleasure to read. For it's not only that the author knows his subject as does no one else, but that he has the natural ability as a writer to include us in its pleasures." -- David McCullough.
First Sentence
The title of this work is inspired by Andrew Jackson Downing's Fruits and Fruit Trees of America, first published in 1845 and the standard pomological authority by the "fairest name in American horticultural literature" (figs. 1, 2).
