Two antique seed labels came inside the book, several of the black and white illustrations have been hand colored, perhaps by the original owner. Inside: beds, borders, berries, bulbs, cacti, campanulas, perennials, clematis, roses, cut flowers, dahlias, delphiniums, ferns, formal gardens, grapes, tulips, trees and everything else "garden" you could want to read about. A great book to add to your collection, display this with your French gardening pots, your antique gardening tools and seed packets.
