Gardening is a thing of fashion, and we are now in an age when conifers and shrubs have become great favorites. But flowering shrubs have been with us since the beginning of gardening in this country. Seventeenth century garden catalogues list many of the plants in this book - Lilac, Honeysuckle, Yucca, Cercis, Hibiscus, Cytisus, Arbutus etc.
