Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Flower-Garden, or Breck's Book of Flowers: In Which Are Described All the Various Hardy Herbaceous Perennials, Annuals, Shrubby Plants, and Evergreen Trees, Desirable for Ornamental Purposes, With Directions for Their Cultivation
For the poetry interspersed throughout this volume, I have drawn largely on Flora Domestica, a pleasant English work. In the directions for making walks, laying box edgings, &c., I am indebted to an experienced gardener, and to Mr. Mc Mahon's old work on gardening, in connection with my own experience and observation.
