Note.—Miss Una Silberrad has had exceptional facilities for studying life in the Bulb Fields in and around Haarlem, which has been the centre of the industry ever since its first introduction, and here sets down for us the quaint customs of the growers, and their manner of life. Miss Sophie Lyall treats of the Hyacinth; her chief authority being St. Simon, a learned Frenchman of the eighteenth century. Garden-lovers will appreciate his enthusiasm, and the loving exactness with which he describes the life of the plant, its treatment, and the environment best suited to its needs.
“Over the pictures in this book it is difficult not to wax enthusiastic, for they are veritable triumphs of colour-printing.”—Globe.
“Her pictures as a whole are as successful as the subject and the letterpress in helping to endow this volume with a unique charm which no flower- or garden-lover can fail to appreciate.”—World.
