Every Lady her own Flower Gardener

This book belonged to my grandmother, she was born in 1888, and although the book has parted company with it's cover and various pages, it provides amusement in it's narrative.
I have found the reason of my failures in the shrub department"...a . lady may superintend herself, if her own physical powers are not equal to the fatigue of planting. A labourer or a stout active girl may act under her orders..."
Talk of gay plantings and not planting out before 20th June etc. A time gone bye.

Have good weeks all
