Shrub Gardening for Flower Arrangement has been written in response to repeated requests for advice from her audiences, most of whom were much less familiar with shrub growing than with managing the herbaceous border and greenhouse. She shows how to obtain an abundance of choice and widely varied material for indoors, while enioying an all-the-year-round spectacle of ever-increasing beauty in the garden, by substituting shrubs for the utilitarian 'picking borders'.This is a VG++ copy with some shelf wear and ageing reducing it to VG* 1973-04-24. n.

To provide the foliage, therefore, which is essential for successful flower arrangements ? not only for your own home but also for churches and for competition and exhibition work ? it is necessary to grow your own. Here are over 250 hardy foliage plants, described in detail, with associated information as to their deployment within the garden and their incorporation in to the display.* A NEAR FINE copy of the 1st/1st with NO MAJOR FAULTS.* 1968-05-01. n.

Slightly sunned spine to D/J. This book is intended primarily for flower arrangers who grow, or wish to grow, their own material and I hope very much that they won;t find it either presumptious or didactic. It is not, in any sense, for those who wish to learn about the art of flower arrangement itself. Perhaps it is not too much to hope that in writing of the trees and shrubs I love so much something of my own enthusiasm for this form of gardening and this immensely rewarding source of material for flower arrangement may rub off on my readers. Illustrated. 274 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).
