About This Item
London : Herbert Jenkins, 1925. First edition.

With separate sections, inter alia, on castle gardens; the joys of gardening; the gardener; women gardeners; lovesome flowers; sundial mottoes; the orchard; bee lore; astrological lore; gardening calendars, etc. With a bibliography of sources. Compiled by the distinguished gardener and garden designer Sophie Rohde of Reigate. "Will interest the gardener and historian alike, and even the general reader cannot fail to find much that will please him in these enchanting pages" (Sheffield Daily Telegraph, 4th February 1926). Foolscap 8vo (169 x 105mm). (332)pp. Bound, for Hatchard's, in an elegant near contemporary half crimson morocco; top edge gilt; a couple of tiny marks; slight tanning of the outer edges of the endleaves, but still a very good copy.
