Abstract

64Quaker History concern for others, as evidenced by Morris' donating much of her harvests to charities in her final years. Food and gardening historian Clarissa F. Dillon' s essay takes bare-boned entries and shows they form an "exceptional picture of plants and practices" (52) of a working garden. Morris grew vegetables and herbs (like many Quaker women, she was noted for her healing abilities) and maintained careful (albeit brief) records of her efforts. Though Morris' garden was by no means typical, Dillon is able to use it as a starting point to saliently discuss gardening practices of the period. Webster and Dillon's essays, along with a helpful glossary and discussion of individual plants, make this slight book valuable to both historians of the period and of gardens.
