L. M. Moll
Best known for a practical kitchen-gardening guide written with E. D. Darlington, this author appears to have been part of the late 19th-century world of hands-on American garden writing. The surviving record is quite sparse, which gives the book itself much of its charm and historical interest.

How and what to grow in a kitchen garden of one acre
by E. D. Darlington, L. M. Moll
About the author
L. M. Moll is credited as co-author, with E. D. Darlington, of How and What to Grow in a Kitchen Garden of One Acre, a gardening manual published in the late 1800s and later edited by Washington Atlee Burpee. The book focuses on practical, small-scale food growing and reflects the direct, useful style common in gardening guides of that era.
Reliable biographical information about the person behind the name is limited in the sources I could confirm. Public-domain and library-style records consistently connect L. M. Moll with this gardening work, but they do not offer much about the author’s life, background, or dates.
That makes Moll an appealingly elusive figure: known today less through personal history than through a clear, serviceable book meant to help readers grow more in a modest space. For listeners interested in historical how-to writing, that modesty is part of the appeal.
