FLOWER GARDENS

A SELECTED LIST
OF BOOKS

THE NEW YORK

PUBLIC LIBRARY

1915

NOTE

is a selected list of books on
flower gardening, chosen from among
the works on that subject in The New
York Public Library. It does not include
all the material in the Library; much
less does it pretend to be a bibliography
of flower gardens. The current Peri-
odicals on gardening, on file at the
Library, are not mentioned in the list,
but they should be consulted by anyone in-
terested in the subject. Books on wild
flowers, as well as those on vegetable
gardens, are outside the range of the list.
