L. M. Moll
A little-known coauthor from the late 19th century, remembered for helping create a practical gardening guide focused on making a single acre both productive and manageable. The surviving record is slim, which gives the book itself an old-fashioned, hands-on charm.

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 the joint author of How and What to Grow in a Kitchen Garden of One Acre, a gardening manual published in Philadelphia by W. A. Burpee & Co. in 1888 and edited by W. Atlee Burpee.
Modern catalog and archive records consistently identify Moll alongside E. D. Darlington as a coauthor of that book. Beyond that attribution, reliable biographical details about Moll appear to be scarce in the readily available historical record.
What does come through clearly is the spirit of the work: practical, detailed, and aimed at helping readers plan, plant, and manage a productive kitchen garden. For listeners who enjoy classic how-to writing, Moll's name is tied to a book that reflects the careful, methodical gardening advice of its era.
