A vintage title in the short-lived Batsford Colour Books series, first published in 1948. The book is notable for its high-quality botanical illustrations and serves as an anthology of 19th-century colour-plate works. The book is introduced by Robert Gathorne-Hardy. It features 16 full-page colour plates originally created by Jane Webb Loudon. These were selected from her famous 19th-century volumes, including Flower Garden of Annuals, Perennials and Bulbous Plants. The plates depict a mix of traditional English garden staples like foxgloves, lilies, and cornflowers, alongside more exotic species such as Mexican zinnias and Chinese asters.
