enable the lover of liarcly flowers to succeed in the 
future if he lias been so unfortunate as to fail in the 
past. 
There has been no attempt to be effusive over the 
obvious beauties of the flowers, or to waste space on 
more or less ecstatic eulogies which spring up spon-

garden itself. Bulbous plants have not been dealt 
with in detail. They form a large and charming 
group and will be dealt with in a separate volume. 
To anyone requiring further examples of “ choice ” 
— that is to say, of really pretty but not generally 
well-known — plants, I would refer them to my 
“ Practical Guide to Garden Plants.”
