Updated September 24, 2026

AVAILABLE FOR SHIPPING or LOCAL PICKUP > Softcover regional gardening booklet titled The Garden Primer for the Deep South by Lynn Ashford and Nel Newman, published by Loose Dirt, Florence, Mississippi, in 1996. This copy is the second printing, revised November 1996, following the first printing issued in October of that year. The booklet contains 27 pages and measures roughly 8.7" tall x 5.5" wide, with a practical emphasis on gardening conditions specific to the Deep South. Topics include landscape analysis, soil preparation, mulches, perennials and native plants, annuals, hardy bulbs, roses, shrubs, yard trees, hardy vines, ornamental grasses, shade gardening, herbs, edible landscape plants and herbal recipes. Produced as a compact working guide rather than a decorative coffee-table book, this Mississippi-published booklet offers concise regional horticultural advice tailored to Southern soil, climate and planting conditions. The localized Deep South focus and Florence, Mississippi imprint give it added interest for collectors of Southern gardening references, Mississippi publications and regional ephemera. Bright yellow and black illustrated softcover with stylized floral graphics to the front. Title page identifies Loose Dirt at 138 West Way, Florence, Mississippi 39073. CONDITION REPORT > A notably well preserved example.
