Your Garden's Flowers Illustrated - With 28 Illustrations and 695 Photographs Walter Brett

First published in 1939, "Your Garden's Flowers Illustrated" as a wonderful pictorial guide to some of the most commonly grown flowers in the British Isles. The author has aimed to show and describe many varieties of flowers in simple and clear terms, including helpful pictures and offering details relating to habitat, seasons, method of planting, and more. This accessible reference guide is ideal for those with an interest in flower identification, and it is not to be missed by collectors of vintage horticultural literature. Contents include: "Abelia", "Abronia", "Abutilon", "Acacia", "Acanthus", "Achillea", "Achimenes", "Aconite", "Aconitum", "Acroclinium", "Adonis", "Aethiomena", "African Marigold", "Agapanthus", "Agathaea", "Agave", "Anchusa", 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 a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of gardening.
