O. Johnson is a practical gardening manual written in the late 19th century. The book appears intended for women seeking accessible, hands-on guidance in creating and maintaining beautiful flower gardens. Its main focus is on imparting knowledge, encouragement, and specific techniques for cultivating a wide variety of flowers, from annuals to perennials, as well as for designing and caring for garden beds, lawns, and ornamental features. The opening of the manual offers a blend of poetic inspiration and practical advice, emphasizing the romance, health benefits, and satisfaction found in gardening. Johnson begins by contesting the claim that American homes lack gardens compared to their English counterparts, and urges women, in particular, to embrace gardening both for personal delight and well-being. The early chapters then introduce the fundamental principles of garden design, soil preparation, appropriate tools, and the proper attire for gardening, before outlining detailed instructions on constructing beds, "ribbon gardening," creating rockeries, and planting annuals. The tone is encouraging, practical, and accessible, aiming to demystify the process and welcome newcomers, especially women, into the pleasures and rewards of tending one's own flower garden.
