OLD TIME GARDENS 



BY ALICE MORSE EARLE 



Cloth 8, III, $2.50 



This is "a book of the sweet o' the year." Mrs. 

 Earle writes delightfully of Colonial Gardens, Old 

 Flower Favorites, Gardens of the Poets, Plant Names, 

 Sundials, Garden Furnishings, Flowers of Mystery and 

 other phases of garden-lovers' lore. The book is pro- 

 fusely illustrated with photographs of old gardens and 

 their furnishings. The author's pages are rich in 

 anecdote and apt quotation, and reconstruct the at- 

 mosphere, the environment of gardens, and the charm 

 of growing things. It is a book for everyone who has, 

 or hopes to have, a garden. 



"No more suggestive book on gardening can be 

 found." The Independent.
