The observer's book of flowering trees & shrubs for gardens - Stanley B. Whitehead

Modern gardens are the out-door living rooms of the home, and flowering trees and shrubs correctly chosen can ‘fit’ a house into its setting. The information in this useful pocket edition for the amateur gardener has been taken from the author’s larger work FLOWERING TREES AND SHRUBS. In his introduction Stanley B. Whitehead gives advice on the selection and situation of shrubs, and discusses the different types of soil and how to plant, propagate and prune. The major part of the book is devoted to concise descriptions of over 150 of the most beautiful and rewarding plants suitable for the smaller gardens of today. Joan Lupton’s illustrations are an attractive aid to identification, and there is a glossary and index.
