With 320 Flowers in Colour, Painted by the Author
This volume has been carefully prepared with two objects in view—to serve the greatest number of persons in the greatest possible way, and still have a volume that can be carried comfortably in the pocket. Most of the coloured paintings have been made from living plants, the balance from herbarium specimens. The text and pictures incorporate just those points that will serve to identify each flower as it is most likely to be found. The introductory pages give the life cycle of a plant from seed to seed.

THE POCKET GARDEN LIBRARY
Four Volumes, Containing More Than 800 Coloured Illustrations
Edited by LEONARD BARRON
Garden Flowers of Spring By Ellen Eddy Shaw Garden Flowers of Summer By Ellen Eddy Shaw Garden Flowers of Autumn By Ellen Eddy Shaw Flowers of Winter By Montague Free
The first pocket colour guides to popular garden favourites—hardy annuals, herbaceous perennials, shrubs, evergreens, and some greenhouse plants.
They are the same size and general make-up as the Pocket Guide to the birds, the wild flowers, etc., which sell each year into the hundreds of thousands.
The text is concise and up-to-date, and tells how to identify and care for each variety, what value it has for the garden, and the methods of propagation. All the illustrations have been specially made for this work by the best plant portrait painters in America.
