COLOUR IN MY GARDEN 



by LOUISE BEEBE WILDER 



NO ARTIST in the world, with the most sensitive of color in- 

 stincts, has ever mixed colors as rare and rich, as those that 

 Nature gives us so magnificently in flowers. Every one who 

 has a garden, has fountains and resources of color with which he can 

 make a veritable Eden. From the age-old days of hanging gardens, 

 horticulture has been one of the fine arts. And in his garden, man has 

 been able to indulge his instinct for beauty, as his heart led him. 

 Does your garden express your individuality; does your secret self 

 show forth from it, as that of the painter comes out on his canvases? 

 Are you perplexed with problems of design and color harmonies? Are 

 your Irises blue enough? Does the hedge set out the flowers, or 

 overshadow them ? Are the arbors ripely and richly enough in bloom ? 



Here, in a beautiful book, dedicated to the art of gardening, will 

 be found answers to all such questions; and suggestions which will 

 be of inestimable help to you in beautifying your garden. The 

 author is an artist in flowers. Her garden ranks among the most 

 beautiful in the country. The illustrations are reproductions in full 

 color — each one a magnificent example of fine printing— of twenty- 

 four paintings from the exquisite subjects of Mrs. Wilder's garden. 

 The text is a delightful telling of her garden secrets, and a sum- 

 mary of her experiences in planning and maintaining her beautiful 

 garden in the full glory of its colors. This is a book that should be 

 in the possession of every lover of art and nature. De luxe edition, 

 limited to 1,500 numbered copies. Boxed, #10.00.
