About This Item
(London, Pelham, new edition, 1983). Laminated pictorial dustwrapper, pp. xvi + 368, plates, including colour. Edges very slightly foxed. 'The old-fashioned flowers of the cottage garden have much to offer the modern gardener - rich yet subtle colours, a profusion of scents, hardiness, ease of propagation as well as a natural charm and willingness to live happily with a variety of plants. Long ignored and neglected, except by the discerning few, cottage flowers are beginning to enjoy a revival of popularity just as they are disappearing from the nurseryman's catalogue and dying out in the old gardens.' .
