NOTE. "Gardens of England" does not follow the conventional lines of recent 

 works, but is descriptive of the modern development of the love of picturesque horti- 

 culture. All who have a love of the garden and the country in their hearts are aware of 

 and welcome the intense interest that has been slowly asserting itself in this fair land of 

 ours, and this, surely, is of physical advantage to the race. In this book the sketches 

 show the beauty of the modern rose garden when planned with taste, the flood of colour 

 that comes from rambling roses over the pergola, and the brilliancy of the herbaceous 

 border in summer. The text follows the same lines, and, as indicating the character of 

 the book, there are chapters on "Cottage Gardens," "Rosemary and Lavender," "The 

 Rose Garden," and the four seasons in the garden. 



" A book of very great value. . . . Highly deserving of a place in the country-house. 

 ... It is instinct with the spirit of the garden, and no one could turn its leaves, or look 

 at the pictures, without obtaining many a hint that could be put to practical purpose." 

 Country Life. 



"Miss Parson's pictures are almost fragrant, so truly does she realise the atmosphere 

 of her subjects. The volume is one which the garden lover . . . will find full of delight."

ALPINE FLOWERS 

 AND GARDENS 



Painted and Described by G. FLEMWELL 



Containing 20 full-page Illustrations in Colour. Square demy 8vo, cloth, gilt top. 

 Price 73. 6d. net (by post, 73. ud.) 



NOTE. This is an attempt to present, in word and picture, a broad and general 

 view of the Swiss Alpine flora in its wild home and in the gardens established for it in 

 the Alps. It is an attempt to break away from the mass of specialist literature on the 

 subject, and to depict, not merely something of the floral wonders themselves, but some- 

 thing also of the unique and fascinating atmosphere which surrounds them something 

 which will appeal both to those who know the Alps and to those who know only of 

 them. To quote from the Preface contributed by Mr. Henry Correvon, one of the 

 greatest living authorities on Alpine plants: "The Alpine flora has never yet been 

 described or offered to the public at the angle at which it is here presented to us. Here, 

 then, is a profoundly original work which lovers of beauty and truth cannot but applaud. 



" Mr. Flemwell's paintings will at once attract those who open this book, for he has 

 accomplished with singular skill the difficult task of making the Alpine air breathe 

 round Alpine flowers. And lovers of Alpland who do not look for a specialist technical 

 work on the flowers will be pleased with his letterpress, which, though botanical lore is 

 not lacking, studies them from rather a new angle." Times.
