"Piscataqua Papers" from Alicia

Alicia Moore follows up the delightful IGC's fieldtrip to Brave Boat Harbor Farm by providing us with a charming article from the Piscataqua Papers entitled "Espaliered Fruit . Those of you who were on the trip will remember the apples and pears that are espaliered on the house and along the walls of the formal front garden. Below is Alicia's email to Cynthia Hosmer which gives some background to this reading. Thank you Alicia for adding this to the memories of a wonderful day trip and to Peter for scanning the  article for our blog.

Cynthia,       

     The Club's visit to your seaside garden and meeting you  was a delight, a gem among our best-ever trips. I treasure my copy of "Piscataqua Papers", co-edited by Marion Hosmer and published by the Piscataqua Garden Club, York Harbor, copyrighted in 1965. It  was a favorite of my father's who was an avid flower gardener. 
       I think fellow Club members would  especially enjoy reading Marion Hosmer's "Espaliered Fruit Trees"and  "Wind, Salt, and Gardens". I am glad to find "Earth on Her Hands" which has photos of your gardens in the Ipswich Library.
 

With appreciation for the beautiful day with you,
Alicia
