"Cupid's Almanac and Guide to Hearticulture for This Year and Next" by Oliver Herford et al. is a whimsical and humorous guidebook published in the early 20th century. This unique work combines elements of comedy and horticulture, using the allegory of gardening to explore the complexities of love and relationships. The book cleverly presents concepts of romance as if they are plants to be cultivated, with various flowers representing different feelings and social interactions. The content is presented in a month-by-month format, detailing what budding gardeners, or rather "hearticulturists," should consider in their emotional gardens throughout the year. Each month introduces various fictional plants such as the “Common Turnleaf” and “Valentine Plant,” each with its own attributes, requirements, and potential pitfalls. With playful language and charming illustrations, the authors explore themes like the treachery of love during April or the blossoming of romance in June. Ultimately, the book serves as both a satirical commentary on romantic endeavors and a lighthearted guide, encouraging readers to navigate their emotional lives with care and humor.

Reading ease score: 59.7 (10th to 12th grade). Somewhat difficult to read.
