COLOUR IN MY GARDEN 
by LOUISE BEEBE WILDER 
N O 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 flow r ers, 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 wall 
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. I he 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.
