About This Item
This is a flexbound, and lightly laminated, copy of
The Color Dictionary of Flowers & Plants for Home and Garden.
It was written by the British botanists Patrick Synge and Roy Hay, with the Brooklyn Botanic Garden taxonomist George Kalmbacher. It was published in association with the Royal Horticultural Society.
It was first published in the UK, in 1969. Its first US printing was in 1975, but it was a best-seller and this copy is from its 11th printing (and update) in 1992.
There is a minor amount of text at the front. Pages 378 to 584 are the printed Directory, and pages 35 to 377 are the corresponding images, all of which are photographed in brilliant color. Altogether, there are 2048 entries, and all have a photo. It is a lovely book and terrific for planning a garden and/or indoor display. And this copy is in excellent condition, with a few dog-ears but no damage of any kind.
