"A Picture Dictionary of Flowers" contains a delightfully-illustrated and exhaustive catalogue of flowers and plants written by H. H. Thomas. For each flower treated there is provided simple descriptions and details relating to ideal growing conditions, seasonal considerations, common problems, and more. Contents include: "Aaron's Beard", "African Hemp", "African Lily", "African Marigold", "African Violet", "Alkanet Blue", "Almond", Alum Root", "Amaryllis", "American Cowslip", "American Laurel", "Aniseed", etc. This handy volume is highly recommended for gardeners and others with an interest in botany, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature. Many vintage books such as this are becoming 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.
