Something rather wonderful occurs when the last flaming autumn leaves fall and turn brown when November steals in with quiet tones, and snow flurries dance through gray days. The indoor garden comes into its own. Jean Hersey, 1965

{HISTORY}

Across 128 pages, The Woman's Day Book of House Plants covers 191 varieties of plants, herbs, and flowers ideally suited for indoor environments. Way beyond just factual information, author Jean Hersey also shares colorful notes about each plant highlighting their distinct appeal, unique characteristics, and individual personalities.

Beautifully illustrated with watercolor art by Harry Marinsky, this book not only acts as a helpful guide when it comes to house plant selection and care but it also acts like your personal style advisor when it comes to displaying your plants in your space. Whether you enjoy just a few pots of greenery here and there or are striving for an indoor garden display packed with a variety of plants, Jean helps you decide what to put where and how they work most beautifully together. 

We love this book especially too because it includes a section on kitchen gardening that goes beyond the typical herb garden to include sweet potatoes, beets, carrots, pineapples, lentils and citrus fruits. 

Jean was a 20th-century freelance writer and author of many engaging books and articles on gardening and domestic life. She had a long-time career dispensing horticultural advice and information to the midcentury readers of Woman's Day magazine and worked in collaboration with them on several garden-themed books including The Woman's Day Book of Wildflowers published in 1960.

Decent material, more of a sporty outfit than a tracksuit
I got the XXl which is what I get in Adidas when they’re cut slim. This is not cut slim. I like the looser fit, but it’s not like a tracksuit top at all, it’s like a shirt. The bottom is a plain hem. It’s way too wide for me like this. It needs a drawstring in it or an elastic waist. The material is slick and has a clean finish. The pants are the same as the top, it’s not fuzzy inside, it doesn’t have the same static cling fuzzy polyester gets. It’s thicker than I expected, more like track pants than gym shorts. I need to put some elastic thru the bottom hem so it fits better.

Nice, Soft and Comfortable Tracksuit
First thing my son said when he put it on and the quarter zip was down was that he felt like Paulie Walnuts off The Sopranos. It cracked me the heck up. With the collar that kind of butterflies out, but still stylish. This is a nice and quality tracksuit. It is made of soft polyester and the spandex makes it stretchy. It fits true to size. It fits loosely so you have some room to move around. I got this for my son as he had no athletic type clothes to wear when it gets cold. It is kind of a good thing that the material is not heavy, but it generates heat and is perfect for colder weather. you can't wear it when it is in the mid-70's or so unless you are just a cold natured person. Wearing a T-Shirt under it is great. The tracksuit is perfect to wear to sporting events, a sports bar or shopping on a spring or fall day. The pants fit well and are the proper length. My son is 6' and a buck sixty-five. Fits him like a glove and it still would if he were heavier. The elastic waist is nice and the cords are not uncomfortable like some can be. I recommend this product.
