Earle, Maria Theresa (Mrs. Charles W. Earle). Garden colour; with fifty full-page il. by Margaret Waterfield. [*]$6. Dutton.
“An English collaborated production ... fifty-one colored plates ... which are from water colors by Miss Margaret Waterfield. Miss Waterfield herself writes the garden notes for the various months, giving advice in regard to cultivation only incidentally, but chiefly in regard to artistic arrangement—those methods of planting whereby each plant or shrub shows its own beauties to best advantage, while at the same time enhancing those of its neighbors.... It is the principles rather than the actual facts that the various writers wish in this case to enforce. Miss Waterfield’s collaborators include Mrs. C. W. Earle, Miss Rose Kingsley, and other well-known English garden lovers and writers.”—Dial.
