Synopses & Reviews
The final volume in Bowles's survey of his garden through the year has always been the most elusive in the antiquarian book market. This reprint includes a map of the garden at Myddelton House to aid the reader in visualizing its design and layout, and like the earlier volumes, features a nomenclatural appendix to update obsolete plant names.
Synopsis

About the Author
Edward Augustus Bowles (1865-1954) was renowned as a gardener, plantsman, and author. His life's work was his garden at Myddelton House, which is now being restored to its original condition as a tribute to his memory. He was a prolific writer on gardening as well as an avid painter of botanical subjects. His
Handbook of Crocus and Colchicum and
Handbook of Narcissus are the standard works of reference for these plants, but he is best known for his popular books
My Garden in Spring, My Garden in Summer, and
My Garden in Autumn and Winter.
The author was a vice-president of the Royal Horticultural Society and the recipient of the Victoria Medal of Honour in Horticulture. Among his other awards were the Veitch Memorial Medal in gold for his work on Crocus and other garden plants, the Peter Barr Memorial Cup for his work on Narcissus, and a Grenfell Medal in gold for his botanical paintings.
