COLOUR 



IN MY 



GARDEN 



By LOUISE BEEBE WILDER 



Author of " My Garden " 



<I In the big and little gardens everywhere we are awak- 

 ening to the possibilities of flower grouping with due 

 reverence to the value of colors. 



^ The author, one of the few artist-writers in the coun- 

 try, has besides, rare taste and a practical working knowl- 

 edge of plants, which put her in the foremost rank of 

 garden writers of this or any other country. 



<I Mrs. Wilder says, "I like to go along as much as pos- 

 sible with nature, letting her give me a hint or a lift 

 wherever possible." She has used this and her inspira- 

 tions together and suited them to our climatic require- 

 ments — while many of the harmonious results have 

 been beautifully painted by the author and used to 

 illustrate the book.
