FA: Foliage Plants by Frederick Boddy, 1973 HB/DJ
Number1Fred
Frederick A. Boddy
No garden would be complete without flowers but they are, in the life span
of a plant, a purposeful if fleeting phase, intended for the perpetuation
and increase of its kind. A flower without its foliage is rather like a
picture without a frame -- the foliage is the setting which displays the
beauty of the flower, preceding it and remaining when that beauty has faded.
This book depicts virtually every variety of foliage plant available to the
gardener, offering hints for creating a garden of ever-changing variety,
color and fragrance throughout the year. It contains 32 B&W photos.
