#OTD Julian R. Meade, American #Author & #Humorist, is born.
He mainly wrote about his home state of #Virginia & died young at 31.
From #Bouquets & Bitters (1940):
"Today, I was plowing through a horticultural #Tome that had a chapter that began:
'If you want a successful garden, it behooves you...'
The hell it does!
My #Garden is one place in the world where I am NOT behooved."
Julian also wrote,
"The more I hear of #Horticulture, the more l like plain #Gardening."
