"Unlike any other gardening book I know, with its Old World charm, its down-to-earth practicality, its whimsy and sophistication."--Brooke Astor, The New York Times Book Review A classic in the literature of the garden, Green Thoughts is a beautifully written and highly original collection of seventy-two essays, alphabetically arranged, on topics ranging from "Annuals" and "Artichokes" to "Weeds" and "Wildflowers." An amateur gardener for over thirty years, Eleanor Per nyi draws upon her wide-ranging knowledge of gardening lore to create a delightful, witty blend of how-to advice, informed opinion, historical insight, and philosophical musing. There are entries in praise of earthworms and in protest of rock gardens, a treatise on the sexual politics of tending plants, and a paean to the salubrious effect of gardening (see "Longevity" ). Twenty years after its initial publication, Green Thoughts remains as much a joy to read as ever. This Modern Library edition is published with a new Introduction by Allen Lacy, former gardening columnist for The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times and the author of numerous gardening books. "You do not have to be a good gardener to fall in love with Green Thoughts. It reads with the intrepid assurance of a classic."--Mary McCarthy, The New York Review of Books"One of those dangerous reference works that you reach for at a moment of horticultural crisis or indecision only to find yourself an hour later browsing far beyond the page where you began."--The New Yorker

Heavy duty chewing, not heavy duty dropping
Size: X-Large, Color: Textured Ring
My super chewer loved this toy, great shape, provided long lasting entertainment. However, when he dropped it from his mouth onto our epoxy flooring (not a far drop as he’s only 50lbs) one chunk broke clean off at the 2 smaller joints. Although we kept the larger piece for a while, a similar drop a week later broke it again. Considering this is fairly inexpensive, I wasn’t expecting it to be indestructible. It’s just strange how it broke. Will probably buy again to test one more time.

My dog loves these things
Size: Large, Color: Femur Bone
My dog loves these things. They don't smell at all. It was a great price. It's big enough for my Frenchie. It's pretty durable but he is able to gnaw it rough so I do have to replace them periodically.

Doggo Approved
Size: X-Large, Color: Textured Ring, Size: X-Large, Color: Textured Ring
About as indestructible as it gets. It's just very hard molded material. I always make sure to wash the dog toys before letting them play, who knows where they come from. Picture is after hours/days of the built playing with it

Old Faithful
Size: Large, Color: Wishbone, Size: Large, Color: Wishbone
AmStaf/Lab loves this product. I am still concerned about him ingesting the sharp little pieces he gnaws off, but he seems OK after three months of using these. Tried the Nylabone natural/wild products but they are not usable as a "chew" and disappear within minutes, nay seconds!
-So here I am back to the "strong chew" wishbone product which makes my dog happy and keeps him busy not eating my shoes. (Be warned though, these are worse than Legos if accidentally stepped on!)

Perfect for small dog that likes to chew
Size: Small, Color: Textured Ring
Just got this today (small size for my 15 lb dog) and she loves it. Perfect size for her small mouth and teeth. Keeps her busy and even tires her out and rests a while, Between this type of dog toys and ones that squeak she is having a great time
