G. C. Taylor: The Modern Garden

The development of the modern garden has been remarkable in recent years, and the interest in it has increased more than proportionately. It is the object of this book to give some idea, by means of illustrations of actual gardens that really exist, of the progress of modern gardening and what it really means.
A selection of the headings of the various sections will give some idea of the scope of the book: Terraces, Water Gardens, Formal Gardens, Paths, Borders, Rock Gardens, Roses, Bulbs, Wild Gardens, Shrubs, Garden Ornament. The illustrations are not only beautiful in themselves but have been selected with a view to providing suggestions not only in regard to the choice of plants for particular situations but also for their attractive arrangement and grouping to achieve the best pictorial effects. These will be found invaluable not only to those who garden on a large scale but also to many who have only a small garden.
