Flowers - A Garden Note Book with Suggestions for Growing the Choicest Kinds - Paperback

by Herbert Maxwell (Author)

First published in 1923, "Flowers" is a fantastic handbook on the various flowers commonly found in an English garden, with chapters on equipment, growing, maintaining, and much more. This timeless volume is highly recommended for all green-fingered gardeners, and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: "Some Hardy Bulbs", "The Herbaceous Border", "Some Flowering Shrubs", "Some Rhododendrons", "Wild Gardening", "The Choice of Plants", "rockwork and Edgings", "Some Failures", "Some Weeds", "Some Plant Names", "L'Envoi", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction. Contains 12 full page colour illustrations and many more in black and white.
