Gardening Monographs . 1st. Ed. Pub. Country Life. 1918. pp.xii, 460 with colour frontis., and fine b/w. photos. Folio. Hardback. AEG. Marbled end-papers. Neat signature to ffep. Foxing to border and verso of frontis., o/w. contents fine. Spine gently sunned and original boards lightly rubbed along edges.

With her characteristic forthrightness and long experience she made good use of the excellent collection of photographs available from Country Life to show what should or should not be done.
