The Subtropical Garden; or, beauty of form in the flower garden

'The Subtropical Garden; or, Beauty of Form in the Flower Garden' by W. Robinson is a comprehensive guide to incorporating large and graceful foliage into your garden for a more unique and artistic appeal beyond just color. Robinson's approach is practical and knowledgeable, offering a selection of suitable species arranged alphabetically, as well as their descriptions, arrangements, culture, and propagation. Unlike other literature on subtropical gardening, Robinson's guide excludes unsuitable and variegated hardy subjects, focusing on the most effective plants from the vegetation of northern and temperate countries.
