The Ladies Flower-Garden of Ornamental AnnualsPaperback, 8 December 2009

First published in 1849, "The Ladies Flower-Garden Of Ornamental Annuals" is a charming guide to a variety of plants that can be found in typical gardens. It offers detailed descriptions of each plant treated, as well as tips on planting propagating, maintaining, etc. This classic guide is highly rerecorded for green-fingered enthusiasts and is not to be missed by collectors of vintage gardening literature. Contents include: "The Flos Adonis", "The Larkspur", "Love in a Mist", "The Garidella", "The Platystemon", "The Poppy", "The Prickly Poppy", "The Horned Poppy", "The Purple Horned Poppy", "The Platystigma", "The Eachscholtzis, or California Poppy", "The Minnemania", "Fumarieae", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of gardening.
