Another practical manual by Sunset Books. I think of containers as work on a brick, but this is one of my favorites gardening books. The approach is accessibility of gardens to everyone everywhere. "The Portable Garden" was the title of the first edition in 1952. Authored by a great research writer, Linda Brandt.

Describes the requirements of 200 suitable plants, including edibles.
Color photographs and drawings, with Index and Special Features, including how to graft cactus, and festive ways to use container plants -- the seasonal portable. (!) ( )
