      Charles Dudley Warner (1829-1900) steht mit seinem Witz in der Tradition amerikanischer Humoristen. Der feinsinnige Hobbygärtner lehrt uns, über verschrumpelte Knollen und Zwiebeln zu philosophieren, Pflanzen ein- und umzugraben und sie gedeihen zu sehen. Selbst zum Unkraut wird man nach dieser unterhaltenden Lektüre ein ganz neues Verhältnis gewinnen. Die letzten zwanzig Jahre seines Lebens wohnte der Autor übrigens Garten an Garten mit Mark Twain.
