How to Enjoy Flowers - The New 'Flora Historica'

'How to Enjoy Garden Flowers' is a vintage guide to the flowers that can be found in an English garden, exploring their history, popularity, identification, culture, and maintenance. Interwoven with interesting information, beautiful descriptions and even poetry, this guide constitutes a must-have green-fingered gardeners. Contents include: 'The Herald Flowers', 'Tulipomania', 'Nosegays', 'Old-Fashioned Favourites', 'A Flower of To-Morrow', 'The Historic Iris', 'Jove’s Flower', 'The Rose’s Rival', 'Naiad of the Stream', 'Flowers of Night', 'Window Flower', 'Autumn’s Glories', 'The Last Flower', 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.
