The observer's pocket reference series first started in 1937. Its aim is to provide an introduction to a wide range of interests. They have also been popular amongst children. They have become collector's items. The first few Observer's titles had focused on nature, but gradually subjects like geology, music and architecture were introduced.
This No. 44 in the series.
"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. In his introduction to this useful book for the amateur gardener, 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 attractive aid to identification, and there is a glossary and index."
Pocket size 5.75 x 3.75 inches. 193 pages. Illustrated with colour photographs and line drawings.
